Robert Bateman Powerplay Rhinoceras

" POWERPLAY - RHIONOCERAS "

"Rhinos are one of the most impressive and massive land mammals, and they do not usually
fool around.If they were to play, their only games would be power plays. A charging bull
elephant is often bluffing-- not so the rhino. A rhino will make a pretty serious mess out
of any vehicle, which has not helpedtheir fight for survival. Rhinos can handle any natural
threat but not modern man and his high-power bullets.

Rhinos were never hunted by native African tribes, and even the early white trophy hunters
were not a serious threat. In 1970 there were about 20,000 black rhinos in Kenya; today
there are fewer than 500. This devastation has been caused by the senseless, frivolous
beliefs of people in countries thousands of miles away from the black rhino's domain:
in the Orient, rhinoceros horn (consumed in powdered form) is believed to be an
aphrodisiac; in the last 15 years, the price of a kilo of rhino horn has risen from
$35 to $500. In North Yemen, to be considered a virile young man requires owning
a dagger with a handle made of rhinoceros horn; such a dagger now costs
more than $15,000.

To keep this magnificent beast from extinction, we need a global power play
to abolish rhinopoaching and the money that supports it. I painted Power Play
to raise funds to abolish illegal rhino horn trade and to save this
70-million-year-old species from extinction."
