Scientists hope to revive near-extinct northern white rhino in Kenya via SABCNewsOnline

The northern white rhino came closer to extinction in 2018 when the last known living male died in Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Researchers collected sperm from male rhinos before their deaths and developed three embryos using eggs collected from the two living females last year. They plan to implant the embryos in female southern white rhinos, which are more populous. In addition to Ol Pejeta, the team behind the effort includes Kenya Wildlife Services, Italian-based Avantea Lab, which has the embryos in its custody, Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic, and German-based Leibniz Institute for Zoo & Wildlife Research.

“This is a big win for Kenya and its partners, as the northern white rhinos are faced with the threat of imminent extinction.”
