Animal lovers strode out to help save one of the world's most endangered species.

Walkers descended on the Cotswold Wildlife Park at Burford to ramble for the rhino. The event was organised by the global environmental organisation, WWF formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund.

Proceeds will go towards funding rhino poaching patrols in Asia and Africa, where the species is rapidly declining.

WWF regional organiser Penny Hurtley said: "Rhino numbers have plummeted. There were more than 70,000 black rhinos roaming the grasslands in the 1960s. Now there are fewer than 3,000."
