Amanda, Southern White Rhino in Black and White

A black‑and‑white portrait of Amanda, one of five remaining Southern White Rhinos under constant surveillance by an anti‑poaching unit. Once part of a population of twenty five rhinos on a very private reserve, she now lives under strict protection due to ongoing poaching threats. For security reasons, photographs of these rhinos cannot include identifiable landscape features, making close portraits essential for their safety. This image highlights the deep texture of her skin and the quiet resilience of a species fighting for survival.
