(250923) -- NAKASONGOLA, Sept. 23, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Sept. 22, 2025 shows a rhino at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Nakasongola, Uganda.
Uganda on Monday held a special ceremony where 17 rhino calves were named at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in the central district of Nakasongola as part of efforts to revive a species once extinct in the country.
The naming ceremony, which coincided with World Rhino Day, allows individuals, corporations, and philanthropists to symbolically "adopt" and name a rhino, with the proceeds supporting habitat expansion, veterinary care, and conservation efforts. (Photo by Hajarah Nalwadda/Xinhua)
