- The world’s most endangered large mammal could be making a comeback from the brink of extinction in Kenya.
More than a decade of research to save the northern white rhino is paying off.
Scientists are using in-vitro fertilisation, a procedure that has never been tried before on the animal.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Soi reports from the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya.

Fingers crossed they'll make it work. It's wonderful to see people passionate about saving wildlife. Good Luck 🤞🏻
Man I hope we can save this majestic animal!
i am really thankful for the work done to save these majestic white rhinos....
Surly all you have to do to protect the endangered wildlife is for the world to pay a tax to the tribes surrounding the animals. No wildlife = no money.
That makes no sense
That makes great sense.
@@TylerMarkRichardson No?Your a white conservative.
Tha makes some sense.
That makes a lil bit of sense
*Kenya🇰🇪 have border disputes with South Sudan.*

Good step 🙏🏻

Southern rihno mates nepali one horn rhino would be nice matting partners
How is the progress at the moment?
Some 30 frozen embryos and a test-proven process to implant them
The one thing I said you can't do to save us
South sudan and Uganda do not have Egypt and Egypt has all african kings
I thought they cut the horns down so no poachers will kill for their horns??! !!
😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm sire it's very stressful for them and would have to be sedated which can in itself kill the animal. Just easier to have 24/7 security bc they'll have to be there anyways so it's unneeded stress on the rhinos.
This has been done for some rhinos, but these two are special. There are different species of rhinos, and this is the *Northern White Rhino* they're talking about, with only 2 females and no males left alive. They mention at 1:17 that they're planning to implant the embryo in a female _Southern_ White Rhino. It's a related species but still not exactly the same, so it's the best option they have even if it's not ideal. The Southern White Rhino is not extinct, although still considered "Near Threatened" on the conservation status scale.
Leave the rinno you human
It's too late
If we leave it it might get killed.
😭😭😭
Thanks China.
I need tanks
LL THISE COUNTRIES ARE NKT ASSOCIATED WITH EGYPT NIR HAVE ISLANIC STATES OR ARAB NATIONS LIKE SOME OF EGYPT'S ANCESTEY TO AFRIXAS OLD KINGS
How can we trust this scientist that are not even from Africa....
Racist. Be respectful
How can you decide for the animals 🤣
We’re still humans are on top of the food chain, science. Until the dinosaurs come back and annihilate us.
Don't worry bout stupid rhino's---concentrate on gouging African economies with cheap Russian Oil and gas to drive your economies to another level, how hard is it to learn how to benefit from conflicts and wars in Europe, there's nothing to feel ashamed about doing war business, that you didn't start. You can, and are allowed to agree everytime with Ukraine's complaints, you can even send blankets and powdered milk to the refugees in that conflict, but at the same time you can still sell African steel to Russia, if they chose to build more tanks well that is not Africa's fault, it's just capitalism. Europe ate all it's wildlife and they are doing just fine----come to think of it how many cans of corned elephant meat, can you get from one elephant $$$
Wide mouth rhino, there is no such a thing as "white" rhino. European "white" rhinos went extinct during the last ice age🤣
No these are northern white rhinos
@@TylerMarkRichardson 🧐" The name "white" rhino is misleading - as it is actually grey. The white rhino is said to have gotten its name from the Afrikaans word for wide ('wyd'), referring to its wide, square lip (in contrast, black rhinos have a pointy upper lip)."🤣
