What do rhino, Paul Blackthorne, Aaron Ramsey, Aamir Khan, and Vancouver Whitecaps FC have in common? They’re all on the same team – the Save the Rhino team.
Save the Rhino is a campaign launched by Blackthorne, an English actor best known for his work on Vancouver-shot TV show Arrow. The campaign aims to raise awareness for the planet’s rapidly diminishing rhino population, which is being hunted to the point of extinction by poachers.
At the current rate of poaching, all rhino species face extinction in the wild within 10 years.
Blackthorne recently paid a visit to the Whitecaps FC training centre to discuss the campaign.
