The last male Northern white rhinoceros died in captivity at a conservatory it’d been introduced into in Kenya on March 19, 2018. The loss of the last male makes Northern white rhinoceroses functionally extinct, although two females remain. Armed security to protect the last Northern white rhi...
rhinoceros embryo from fertilization to the pre-implantation stage2,3. Our results suggest that ART might offer an option for rescuing genes from the NWR, an essential first step in saving this nearly extinct rhinoceros sub-species. Beyond applying this classical ART approach, it would be ...
The Southern (SWR) and Northern (NWR) are two subspecies of the White Rhinoceros with the NWR being almost extinct. Here, using assisted reproduction technology, the authors produce and cryopreserve SWR purebred and NWR-SWR hybrid embryos developed to the blastocyst stage, and also generate ...
There are two subspecies of the white rhinoceros and each of them exists on different areas. Northern white rhinoceros(Ceratotherium simum cottoni) We think that the species is critically endangered or extinct in wild. In the past, it lived in the eastern and central Africa, in the south of...

Uganda used to have a large number of rhinoceros, especially the northern white rhinoceros species. The population suffered a sharp decline during the civil wars the country had in the 1970s and early 1980s. By 1983, rhinoceros were declared extinct in Uganda. ...
The northern white rhinoceros (NWR) is probably the earth’s most endangered mammal. To rescue the functionally extinct species, we aim to employ induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate gametes and subsequently embryos in vitro. To elucidate the regulation of pluripotency and differentiati...
Thanks to the continued dedication of scientists, conservationists and philanthropists across the world, there is still hope. This first ever successful attempt at in vitro fertilisation for a rhinoceros is the result of pan-European collaboration between Dvůr Králové Zoo, the Leibniz Zoo and Wil...
