Description
“The Rhino population where they still occur are now under threat more than ever before. The world continues to appeal to Asia to realise that the horn is nothing more than just hair with no potency or health benefits. This is my tribute to the thousands of hard-working and brave individuals who believe in the preservation of this animal. Thanks to Bill and Linda Fuchs for allowing me to produce this piece copied from a full mounted White Rhino in their studio in Franklin, North Carolina.” John Tolmay

About The Artist – John Tolmay, African Wildlife Bronze Sculptures
“I live in that head-space between past and present, translating scenes and images that are vividly recorded in my mind into waxes and clays. I use various foundries around the States to expertly cast them into the pieces of art that grace homes, studios, trophy rooms and offices around the world. While being an artist and a hunter I am also personally committed to Conservation. I started what is known as the “Nyawa Pilot Project” in Zambia.
The aim of this project is to achieve a better balance for rural people and their resources. Gradually the slow process of change is gaining momentum and it is my sincere hope that the concept of Community Based Wildlife Management will cease to be something that is only spoken about and become policy in the near future.”
