But that's not the end of the story. They (the animals) contribute greatly to our way of life and our aspirations as Africans. Their habitats, which are wild places, contribute almost 90 percent of the water we need for our life, for our agriculture, for our industries. That has not been explained properly, and especially for our sector, we haven't done a good job of explaining the usefulness, the connections we have, the importance of conservation to aspirations of many Africans."

This Sudan, as a rhino, was an African, too. So as a human species, we can't think that we are the only Africans."

Storyline


Kaddu Sebunya, President of the African Wildlife Foundation, called for more attention in animal conservation in Africa after the world's last male northern white rhino died on Monday in Kenya.

The 45-year-old animal named Sudan was captured in Shambe, Sudan in 1975 at the age of two. He was fostered in a zoo in the Czech Republic and was transfered to Kenya's Ol Pejeta Conservancy in 2009 for a "Last Chance to Survive" breeding program. He was euthanized for age-related complications after months of a degenerating leg infection.

Sebunya said he and his family all visited Sudan and he was very sad for such a loss at an interview with China Global Television Network on Tuesday. He illustrated the harsh situation of wildlife in Africa and stressed the urgent need to protect Africa's bio-diversity.

"Right now South Africa loses more than 1,000 rhinos annually to poaching. You do the math, they are about 24,000 left. In our lifetime, we can as well lose all the rhinos we had. I come from Uganda, we've lost all our rhinos," he said.

For Sebunya, wildlife is a part of the continent that defines Africa, amid all the benefits humans have taken from them.

"It (wildlife) is something that defines us as Africans and a big part of that is what Africa is. And what Africa is? What life is part of that? So they define who we are. But that's not the end of the story. They contribute greatly to our way of life and our aspirations as Africans. Their habitats, which are wild places, contribute almost 90 percent of the water we need for our life, for our agriculture, for our industries. That has not been explained properly, and especially for our sector, we haven't done a good job of explaining the usefulness, the connections we have, the importance of conservation to aspirations of many Africans," he said.

However, human beings, Sebunya said, didn't do well to take good care of the creatures who also live in Africa.

"We now can really have a wake-up call as Africans that under our watch, we have now to correctively have a story to tell the next generation of Africans that we really did care, that we did pay attention to this, that somehow, economic involvement or our education, or our health, as a human species of Africans we care more about ourselves. The Sudan, as a rhino, was an African, too. So as a human species, we can't think that we are the only Africans," said Sebunya.

Sudan's death leaves just two female northern white rhinos on the planet, his daughter Najin and his granddaughter Fatu through Najin. Experts say the only hope for the preservation of this subspecies now lies in development with vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques.

Sebunya pointed out that there are more species in Africa that demand protection, including elephants, lions and giraffes.

"Apart from rhinos, we need to be watchful over, another bigger fault is the elephant. For the last 20 years, we've lost half of their population. Africa loses an average of 30,000 annually, and we are left with half a million. Lions, we have less than 25,000 left on the continent. And there's also another species, mega-fold species that can be extinct in our lifetime. Giraffe has been added to our endangered list, too. The giraffe also is threatened, because of the habitat," he said.
