Knowsley Safari World Rhino Day. 22nd September, 2013. Nail Clipping point at the 'Save the Rhino' event at Knowsley Safari Park, Liverpool. World Rhino Day when Zoos, organizations and reserves around the world campaigned to raise awareness about protecting rhinoceros from deadly poaching a crisis that continues to threaten animals in Africa and Asia. Rhino horns are valued on the international black market for their purported "medicinal" values, a demand that is threatening their very survival.
A unique nose to horn experience, creative workshops, dedicated conservation talks and an unusual collection of visitors nail clippings – as Knowsley Safari celebrates the fourth annual World Rhino Day, 22 September. Dedicated to the celebration of all five species of rhino - white, black, greater one horned, Sumatran and Javan – the campaign, supported by Knowsley Safari, aims to raise awareness of the poaching crisis and demand for rhino horn that is threatening their survival. Animal enthusiasts are invited to take a walk on the wild side, with an off-road adventure and unique, up close rhino experience. The one-off experience offers enthusiastic visitors the opportunity to enjoy a guided safari around the rhino section, exploring the 100-acre rhino paddock and gaining unparalleled access to the crash – getting closer than ever to the nine month-old calves Thabo, Njiri and Nonu as they scamper around the adults.
