HStudio to Donate a Portion of Proceeds from Sculpture to Help Save the Rhinos
We were inspired recently by a poignant and heart wrenching short video about the endangered rhinos living in Africa. A species we in America are only used to seeing in museums, the rhino is in dire need of protection from its human predators, who hunt them for their precious horns. Ancient Asian traditions believe that the rhino horn has medicinal properties, but extensive research has proved that the horns are made only of keratin and calcium, the same ingredients found in human hair and nails.
After watching the video, Shlomi Haziza and the HStudio team immediately set out to make a rhinoceros sculpture, and soon after, Rocky the Rhino was born. A portion of the proceeds from each Rocky sculpture sold will go towards an organization to help save the rhinoceros from extinction (organization to be announced soon).
