He’s the last male northern white rhino on the planet and, as his profile explains, “the fate of my species literally depends on me.”On Tuesday, Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy and dating app Tinder announced a joint campaign to raise awareness about Sudan’s plight, and to raise funds to support efforts to save the northern white rhino from extinction. I like to eat grass and chill in the mud,” reads Sudan’s Tinder profile. “6 ft tall and 5,000lbs if it matters.”Starting Tuesday, Tinder users in 140 countries could stumble upon Sudan’s profile as they swipe through potential matches.
