About The Exhibition
The Last Three, which was installed in the heart of New York City in March 2018, depicting Najin, Fatu and Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhino has since passed away. The sculpture continues to raise critical awareness and funds needed to protect the last northern white rhinos and to encourage participation in a petition for approaching Chinese and Vietnamese governments about eliminating the demand for rhino horns.
This work screams the important message about Rhinos impending extinction. With only two Northern White Rhinos left alive, both of them female, conservation is more urgent than ever, if it is not already too late. Gillie and Marc remain hopeful, and keep using their work to raise awareness for the rarest animal species in the world.
About The Animal
We’re about to witness the imminent extinction of the northern white rhinos. From a population of 40,000, there are only 2 northern white rhinos left, making them the rarest animals on earth. Their names are Najin. and Fatu.
Rhino horns are worth more than their weight in gold, so the last 2 are under constant threat from armies of poachers. Monumental sculpture artists - Gillie and Marc - created the world's tallest rhino sculpture to inspire, educate, and mobilise a global community to raise their voices, and affect real change against rhino horn sales.
