LAST GOODBYE

-

JOSEPH Wachira comforts Sudan, the last male northern white rhino left on the planet, moments before he died at Ol Pejeta Wildlife Conservanc­y in northern Kenya on March 19, 2018. Suffering from age-related complicati­ons, he died surrounded by the people who had cared for him. Sudan had spent a decade under 24-hour armed surveillan­ce at the conservanc­y. This photograph is part of an exhibition for the 2020 Wildlife Photograph­er of the Year competitio­n at the Natural History Museum in London.
