BlueStar~CLICK BLUESTAR & GO TO BlueStar/RAM Publishing~RICH RUSSOM & JOE ALOISA IN OCTOBER 2011, THE VIETNAMESE JAVAN RHINO (RHINOCEROS SONDAICUS ANNAMITICUS) WAS DECLARED EXTINCT, AND IT WAS IN JULY 2006 THAT THE PRESUMED EXTINCTION OF THE WESTERN BLACK RHINO (DICEROS BICORNIS LONGIPES) WAS REPORTED. ACCORDING TO THIS YEAR’S ASSESSMENT FROM THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIESTM, DICEROS BICORNIS LONGIPES IS NOW GONE FOREVER! THE WESTERN BLACK RHINO & THE VIETNAMESE JAVAN RHINO ARE NOW CONFIRMED EXTINCT! THIS EXTINCTION IS A DIRECT RESULT OF MAN'S GREED & LAZINESS & LACK OF CONCERN! MANKIND WINS AGAIN, AND FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO SEE THESE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES IN PICTURES! MY...WHAT A WONDERFUL SPECIES WE ARE!!! LACK OF POLITICAL WILL-THE WWF REPORT “EXTINCTION OF THE JAVAN RHINOCEROS (RHINOCEROS SONDAICUS)” INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A GLARING LACK OF POLITICAL WILL AND VERY LITTLE, IF ANY, ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE PROTECTION OF THIS CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES. (THE WORLD’S LAST RHINOCEROS SONDAICUS ANNAMITICUS WAS FOUND SHOT WITH HER HORN MISSING! SADLY, IT IS NOT AT ALL SURPRISING THAT THE RECENTLY UPDATED DICEROS BICORNIS LONGIPES PAGE ON THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIESTM READS AS FOLLOWS: GIVEN THE WILDLIFE POACHING TAKING PLACE, LACK OF POLITICAL WILL AND CONSERVATION EFFORT BY CAMEROON CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES IN THE PAST, AND INCREASING ILLEGAL DEMAND FOR RHINO HORN AND ASSOCIATED INCREASED COMMERCIAL RHINO POACHING IN OTHER RANGE STATES, IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS SUBSPECIES IS NOW EXTINCT. BLACK RHINOS HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SINCE 1996, FOLLOWING AN ENDANGERED LISTING FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS! ============================================================================ ________________________________________________________________________________ USE THE FOLLOWING EMAIL ADDRESS TO DONATE THROUGH PAYPAL: debandjulesdonations@gmail.com Thank You & God Bless:) All Donations Are Graciously Accepted:) ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello friends of all God's creature’s world wide, I have a dear friend who's family u r g e n t l y needs our help!
