Sudan is the name of northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) male left in the world. When it dies, it can be ascertained, northern white rhinoceros also extinct. Only one-horned animal in the world to be the last hope in an effort to preserve their species from extinction. Therefore, do not be surprised if the 43-year-old rhino is now guarded 24 hours. The armed rangers risking their lives in the nature reserve Ol Pojeta, Kenya, Sudan to protect the horn must be cut for the sake of safety, so as not to become a target for hunters.

Sudan was transferred from the zoo Czech Republic in 2009 to Ol Pojeta that has specialized for rhino conservation. The nature reserve was chosen because it has been a success with the black rhino breeding program. White rhino conservation project received a major blow, when a rhinoceros other males died last October 2014. Thus making Sudan became the only hope left. Age was 43 years, adding to worries though a rhinoceros live to the age of 50 years. Displacement Sudan initially expected to push for the breed, but all attempts have so far failed to make Sudan fertilize two females in Ol Pojeta.

Further complicated by the disruption of security and stability in Kenya, by acts of terror from militant groups such as Al-Shabaab. The group massacred 150 students in an attack in Kenya, in early April. The price of ivory has now increased to more than £ 40,000, or about Rp767 million per kilo. Especially for white rhino rhino horn only one in the world such as Sudan, the price can be much more expensive.

The current situation is very sad, considering that in the past this species can move freely on the African continent, from southern Chad, the Congo to Sudan. According to data from the WWF, half a century ago still exist 2,000 white rhinos, but in 1984 only 15 of which are located in the tail of the Congo. When the experts managed to avoid extinction. They can breed white rhinos to be more than 30 tigers in less than 10 years. But the increased poaching of rhinos in the nature reserve and is lost entirely.

Hopes resurfaced when it was discovered a white rhino in 2006. Efforts to breed back the white rhino has so far not succeeded. Efforts to maintain Sudan was very difficult. A total of 40 ranger in charge of maintaining the safety of Sudan, at a cost of £ 75,000 or USD 1.4 billion for the six months.
