Meet The Last Northern White Rhinos | De-Extinction: Species Protection 2.0? | EarthX

Could we be on the brink of de-extinction? Meet Najeem and Fatim, the last two northern white rhinos on Earth. These magnificent creatures are the sole survivors of their subspecies, heavily guarded in Kenya as the rest of their kind was tragically lost to poaching. While their wild relatives, the southern white rhinos, still roam, the northern white rhinos possess a unique genetic makeup. The last male of their species passed away in 2018, leaving Najeem and Fatim as the final hope. Their disappearance would mean the irreversible extinction of an entire species. But scientists refuse to surrender. An international consortium, BioRescue, is spearheading a groundbreaking project led by reproductive medicine specialist Thomas Hildebrandt. They are exploring innovative reproductive technologies to prevent this ultimate loss. Deep within a cryolaboratory, precious cells are preserved. Sperm from deceased northern white bulls, stored at -193 degrees Celsius, alongside valuable egg cells, offer a glimmer of hope. These frozen remnants are the key to unlocking a future for this critically endangered species.
