Rhino day is celebrated every year on September 22 to spread awareness about the wonderful creatures and the work being done to save them from being poached and hunted. The International World Rhino Day 2021 has a special significance since it is its 10th Anniversary.

As of today, critically endangered species are on the brink of extinction until a massive step is taken to save them.
