BLACK RHINO

Black rhinos are living dinosaurs that originated over 50 million years ago in the Eocene Epoch and became present in Africa over ten million years ago during the Late Miocene Epoch. In 1960, Africa’s black rhino population was estimated at around 100,000 animals, but population numbers have dwindled to 5,500 animals due to poaching and habitat loss, putting the species on the brink of extinction.

The illegal trade of rhino horn is driven by debunked ancient medical beliefs that horn consumption is a cure for terminal illnesses, substance hangovers, and low libido. Although rhino horn is made of keratin, much like human fingernails, a single horn can fetch over one million dollars on the black market.

BLACK LEOPARD

The African Black Leopard is a melanistic color variant of the African leopard species and is listed as “vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List. Habitat loss and poaching of exotic animal skins have resulted in a significant decrease in leopard populations. This genetic mutation of the African leopard species is one of the rarest animals on the continent.

Few people have ever sighted the African Black Leopard, and those that do sight a black leopard are said to have eternal good luck.

About
Vetpaw

VETPAW’s innovative approach to wildlife protection is the main focal point of our supporters,

but often overlooked is the holistic effects the animals have on the veterans protecting them.

The brutalities of combat during war result in severe trauma for those called to serve in combat.

VETPAW gives veterans a new purpose in life of protecting voiceless wildlife, which in turn provides holistic ecotherapy to the veterans charged with safeguarding these very animals.

An NFT is an abbreviation for "non-fungible token," which is a fancy way of describing it's a one-of-a-kind digital commodity that users may purchase, possess, and trade.

Some NFTs' primary goal is to be digital art, and they can provide a variety of advantages. They may be viewed as membership cards, with holders receiving special access to events, products, and other benefits. The Guardian NFT collection is a very unique way to protect Africa’s wildlife through digital art.
