The Speaking Rhino began on 20 June 2013 as a Facebook page named SAVE One Horned Rhinoceros in 2011. Started off by trio of nature loving guys this page remained rarely updated and largely neglected till early 2013 due to their busy schedule, until a magical spark acted upon their minds and they became more responsible about their responsibility. Thanks to that magical spark, the page started getting updated frequently and it expanded the user base significantly and the page crossed 100+ likes very soon!
Seeing our effects being noticed we changed our name to The Speaking Rhino and started off on other social networks too, including Twitter, Youtube, Google Plus and here on blogger too.
Now we all know that for years, rhinos have been widely slaughtered for their horn, an ingredient in traditional Asian medicines. This, coupled with destruction of their habitat over the years, has brought rhinos to the brink of extinction. The Indian rhino could once be found from Pakistan all the way through India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar. By the turn of the century, this species had vanished from much of its range, and today only about 2500 survive in India and Nepal. Throughout their range, their habitat continues to dwindle fast due to conversion of grassland habitats into agricultural fields. The threat of poaching continues to be ever-present.So, we need to improve all these!
We aim to build a safe future for the Rhinos who are at the verge of extinction by providing you with the latest updates from around the world that relates to the mighty majestic Rhinoceros. . And yes, we do have a have a sweet spot for one horned Rhinoceros.
We also plan to start W.E.R.N.E.R (Weekly Rhino News Recast) on our Youtube Channel, which will be the first of its kind and would recollect all the news which made rhinos happy or sad over the week.
