Save Rhino~!

19Jan08

Okay, I’ve added some cute lil’ stuff on my blog and take a chance to spread this to the rest of the world (especially Malaysians):

It’s a Save Our Sumatran Rhinos Project Logo..
This project is funded by Malaysia Honda Team

Rationale behind the logo:

The logo depicts a white rhino enclosed in a green circle.
The circle represents our world and the colour green is used to signify eco-friendliness as well as the natural ecosystem of the earth, which includes flora and fauna.
The white colour is used for the rhino to signify the rarity of the Sumatran rhino as Malaysia’s most endangered animal and the world’s most endangered rhino species.
The colour green is also apparent on the words ‘Save Our Sumatran Rhino’ the emphasize the importance of protecting the species from extinction.

About Sumatran Rhino:

Today, there are five species of Rhino surviving on earth. The black and white rhino is found in Africa and the Indian, Javan and Sumatran rhino can be found in Asia. The Sumatran rhino is the only two horned rhino in the Asian region and is the smallest of all the rhino species.

The Sumatran rhinoceros population has rapidly declined over the past few decades due to poaching and loss of forest. There are now less than 300 left in the world with Malaysia and Indonesia being their only significant ranges. The Sumatran rhino is Malaysia’s most endangered animal and the world’s most endangered rhino species. Fossils show that the ancestors of this rhino have existed over 30 million years ago.
