Harman Singh Heer, Najin (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

An immensely heartwarming and emotional moment shared between Najin, one of the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos on the planet, and Jeremy, her Ol Pejeta Carer. Najin and her daughter Fatu are the only two living descendants of their species, facing an existential limbo known scientifically as "functional extinction." We are losing our last remaining wild places and incredibly important flora and fauna to emerging crises such as human-wildlife conflict, poaching and hunting, drought and deforestation. It is important now more than ever that humanity collectively comes together to create change and look after the very planet that we need to stay alive.
