A 1:6 scale art collectable plush toy modelled after Sudan the last male Northern White Rhino, which has been hand drawn and designed by the artist Nayana Rathmalgoda.
Sudan was born in Shambe, in what is today, South Sudan in 1973 and is believed to be the last northern white rhino born in the wild. Sudan was the last male Northern White rhino left in the world, and he lived under 24/7 armoured guard in Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. He passed away peacefully next to his handlers on the 19th of March 2018, marking the end of an era and possibly the end of the subspecies.
Each piece comes with a numbered and hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece in this collection is an individual artistic piece that will become a collectible investment in the future.

"I hope this art collectible can put the context of this extinction crisis in the public's psyche by individualizing each rhino and creating an emotional connection to their plight through Sudan's tragic story, and make them feel proud that they are contributing to the protection of rhinos via the percentage of profits that goes towards frontline conservation through Dogs4Wildlife."
- Nayana Rathmalgoda
