Munu is a story of hope in the face of adversity. As one of the world’s rarest black rhinoceros, Munu was tragically blinded and could not have survived in the wild if it was not for the White Lion Foundation who rescued him, offering him a sanctuary and lifetime care in South Africa. His story, as the most special rhino in the world, will appeal to children, with its humorous tone as well as promoting the charity’s ethos of integrity and kindness. Munu’s story raises the profile of the charity’s ambitious vision for the future of global wildlife conservation, at the centre of which are children today, the conservationists of the future. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the White Lion Foundation’s Munu Rhino Appeal to establish a Rhino Rehabilitation Centre and Nursery for young orphaned calves.
