Rhinoceros Necklace Recycled Sterling Silver .925 Cable Chain Endangered Species

Hand-crafted with attention to quality and detail, this pendant is available with three different lengths of sterling silver chain, or without a chain, to put on your charm bracelet or a chain you already own.  The chains have a magnetic clasp for safe and easy use. Made by me from high quality recycled sterling silver (.925), this necklace is not only visually appealing but also durable and will hold its value.

Rhinos are endangered because of two main reasons: poaching and habitat loss. Poaching is the illegal killing of rhinos for their horns, which are in high demand in some Asian countries for traditional medicine and status symbols. Habitat loss is the destruction or fragmentation of rhino habitats due to human activities such as agriculture, logging, and development. According to the IUCN Red List, there are five species of rhinos, and three of them are critically endangered: the black rhino, the Javan rhino, and the Sumatran rhino. The white rhino is near threatened, and the greater one-horned rhino is vulnerable. The population of each species varies, but the most endangered ones have less than 100 individuals left in the wild.
