A photographer and filmmaker with the National Geographic, Ami Vitale has traveled to more than 100 countries. 

Not only has she witnessed violence and conflict, but also the surreal beauty and enduring power of the human spirit.

A photograph by her named 'Goodbye Sudan' shows Sudan, the last male northern white rhino being comforted by one of his keepers, Joseph Wachira, at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Northern Kenya.

It was taken moments before the rhino's death in March 2018. Now, two females are all that remain of this species.

According to Ami, the story made her realise that watching these animals go extinct is actually like watching our own demise in slow motion.

She and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni founded 'Vital Impacts', a non-profit organisation who support other organisations working to protect endangered habitats and the storytellers who amplify these critical stories.
