FIND OUT HOW RHINOS ARE IMPORTANT
Rhinos have been around for millions of years and play a crucial role in their environment. Being big-bodied vegetarians, they eat a lot of plants every day to meet their energy needs. So they are true landscape engineers. For example: The greater one-horned rhino helps to keep the grasslands near rivers closely-cropped, which makes those areas attractive to smaller herbivores too. They also help disperse seeds in their poo, which help plants and trees spread. By protecting the rhino we’re also helping other wildlife and people who depend on the health of that environment.
