And, I shall wait for you
For you to come back home
For my life is not much
Whilst you are gone

This unforgettable photo shows Joseph Wachira gently comforting Sudan, the last male northern white rhino on Earth, just moments before his passing at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya.
Captured by Ami Vitale, this image won the People’s Choice Award by the Natural History Museum for Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Sudan passed away from age-related issues, surrounded by the humans who loved and protected him. His death marked more than the loss of a species — it was a reminder that when nature disappears, a part of us goes with it.
