1. They Were the Last Three Marker
Inscription. 'They were the last three' features the only remaining northern white rhinos in the world, Fatu, Najin, and Sudan in existence in 2018. Precariously balanced atop one another, they represent their uncertain place in this world as the last of their kind. This sculpture has been created as a beacon of hope and love, and serves as a reminder of the profound impact of humans on the environment.
 
Erected 2019 by Gillie and Marc.
