Uma Thurman Fighting To Save Endangered Rhinos

The Kill Bill star headed overseas to see the work of the Conservation Solutions organisation, which has teamed with government officials in Botswana to launch a campaign to save the rhinoceros from poachers.

They have been capturing rhinos in South Africa and transporting them to safety in Botswana, and Thurman has detailed the work in a spread for America's Town and Country magazine.

Her trip was documented in a series of photographs, one of which shows her cuddling up to a rhino, and she says of the scheme, "The beauty of these animals and the absurdity of their plight is so painful... I have lent myself to this (drive)... I'm here to help... I was so moved (when posing with the rhino)... I was just breathing in the moment."
