Your Hair and Nails can Save the Rhino

There was a big smile on my face while watching this video :-) These guys had a lot of fun with this creative response to what is going with the Rhino.
It is about Keratin, this is the key structural material making up the outer layer of human skin. It is also the key structural component of hair and nails [Wikipedia]. Keratin is also the product found in Rhino horns.
Rhino horn is made of Keratin, the same stuff found in our own hair and nails. Because thousands of people (cough cough the Chinese…) still believe that Rhino horn can cure their illnesses, our rhino are being wiped out by poachers.
We are collecting keratin (hair and nails) to send to the embassies of the countries which are still using rhino horn. They want Keratin? We’ll give them keratin!
As far as I found out this group is working independently not related to any NGO.
They have a small Facebook community and a YouTube page to spread their message.
And they don’t want your money for this cause, just your hair and nails.
