This week, we celebrate not just a birthday — but a miracle of survival.
Fatu, one of the last two northern white rhinos left on Earth, was born on 29th June 2000, and today, she stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, love, and the global fight to protect what remains of her kind.
Fatu lives under 24/7-armed protection at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, alongside her mother Najin. Together, they represent the final female line of their subspecies. But Fatu is more than that — she is the only northern white rhino in the world capable of donating eggs for IVF, giving conservationists a slim but shining chance to bring their species back from the edge of extinction.
🌍 Why Fatu Matters
She is the last hope for northern white rhino reproduction through advanced science.
She embodies everything conservation stands for — grace under threat, strength in fragility, and love as a legacy.
Her story reminds the world that extinction is not just a statistic — it’s personal.
Let’s Celebrate Her Life With Purpose
This week, as we honor Fatu, we also renew our commitment to her future. Let’s spread her story far and wide. Let’s educate. Let’s protect. Let’s act.
Every donation, every social media post, every conversation — makes a difference. #birthdayweek #northernwhiterhino
