let's get more on this from susie ellis executive director of the international rhino foundation in strasburg virginia in the united states welcome to the w. so this this sounds like i.b.s. for rhinos how significant is this scientifically. well it's a huge accomplishment scientifically and. as importantly it's it's heuristic science and it furthers assisted reproductive technology it's as you mentioned it's a long long road ahead recovery may exist difficult the next day stage the bank you're injecting them a sperm and getting them to develop 2 embryos is also a huge challenge and they met that challenge now. getting the embryos into a rhino getting rid of it implant and then developing into a viable pregnancy with that half ground is the next hurdle this doesn't look what one does why is this work so important why does it matter if we lose another species. well 1st of all this is not a species this is a subspecies of the species the white rhino species is actually doing quite well there are more than 800 i sorry 191-8000 sorry white rhinos on earth be nor there my right now is a subspecies

white rhino of being created let's hope that that you know brings us a calf in the near future susie ellis from the international rhino foundation thank you so much for having the links thank you. go ahead on the. sports. team for the final. game the ashes from australia. with. the world. business updates. going places. thank. the world. business updates. going places together. scientists are calling it the super earth and it could mean that there is a life out there research at university college london has the tech had water vapor in the atmosphere of another world more than twice the size of earth it is the 1st time that a planet orbiting another star known as an exoplanet has been found with conditions that could support life catherine stansell reports 110 light years away from our planet there is a super earth a world where life could exist outside of our solar system. 18 b. was discovered in 2015 astronomers use data gathered from the hubble telescope to analyze light filtered through the planet's atmosphere they found water vapor in helium the exit planet also orbits at sun's habita

extinction the last male was euthanized last year after developing age related complications with susie ellis is the executive director of the international rhino foundation she says artificial embryos are an exciting prospect but would be an instant fix to the crisis we don't know because this is so new it's a tremendous accomplishment taking assisted reproductive technology further in development but as you said it's a long road ahead next step is to get those embryos into a surgeon develop that into a viable pregnancy and hopefully get a calf on the ground no species has ever been brought back from. from the brink of extinction or extinction by technology alone. and once this is reliable a reproducible it's one of the important tool in our right now conservation tool kit well across all 5 species poaching used by far the greatest threat there are 5 of the 5 species 4 of them are considered threatened. and then the biggest lesson here is that we can't let what happened to the northern white rhino ever happen with any of the other species remembering that the northern white rhinos a subspeci
