Photos by amivitale | I am excited to share another important milestone and exciting step toward the future of the northern white rhino. FIVE new northern white rhino embryos have been created, bringing the total to 22! It's a remarkable step from the extraordinary biorescue_project, a team of scientists and conservationists from leibnizizw, OlPejeta conservancy, safariparkdvurkralove, kenyawildlifeservice, and Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI).
This is a series of images from Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya where oocytes were collected from Fatu on July 28, 2022. This strengthens the hope of producing offspring and giving this keystone species a brighter future. The consortium values and respects the life and welfare of the individual animals. Veterinary and ethical assessments of the oocyte collection indicate that Fatu has tolerated the procedures well.
