Uma Thurman, who has acted in Kill Bill and is in the upcoming Burnt, refers to the devastating killing of rhinos throughout Africa as a rhinocide.
She travelled to Southern Africa as the guest of Conservation Solutions (CS), a company that transports large wild mammals from dangerous areas to safer ones, as well as travel company Wilderness Safaris and the Botswana government.
The project Uma is supporting is to transport as many rhino as possible from South Africa, where the animal is under severe attack, to Botswana, where they will be safer.
At the present rate of poaching, it is estimated rhino will be extinct by 2024.
