The past year has been a tumultuous one -- the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way the world works, but in ways that we do not yet understand, while #BlackLivesMatter has been challenging deep-seated structures of authority around the world.
We know that the COVID-19 pandemic is a pandemic of inequality -- marginalized and racialized communities are far more vulnerable to the SARS-COV-2 virus. We know that #BlackLivesMatter challenges structures of inequality. We live in a world that on the one hand is richer than at any other time in human history but which on the other hand sees hundreds of millions of people living in poverty and global inequality being historically unprecedented. These forces can be starkly illustrated: on 20 July 2020 Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, added US$13 billion to his wealth in just one day.
Our world can at times appear to be out of control and beyond our comprehension. Yet it is possible to cut through this complexity and and unpack the key factors shaping the contemporary world. Human inequality in global perspective is designed to enable you to understand how our world of unparalleled affluence and immense deprivation came to be. After all, if we want the world to become a better place the first thing that we must do is try to better understand it. -

Imagine the sweeping plains and dense forests of Africa and Asia, where the sun casts long shadows over the land and the air is filled with the calls of myriad creatures. Here, among the grasslands and woodlands, roam some of the most powerful and ancient animals on Earth: rhinoceroses. To witness a rhinoceros in its natural habitat is to encounter a living relic of a bygone era, a creature that has weathered the storms of time with remarkable resilience. These colossal herbivores, with their formidable horns and armor-like skin, embody the raw and untamed beauty of the wild. The Immensity of Rhinoceroses Rhinoceroses are among the largest land mammals, surpassed only by elephants in sheer size. There are five species of rhinoceros: the white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) and the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) of Africa, and the greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), the Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus), and the Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) of Asia. These magnificent animals vary in size and appearance, but they share several common traits, including their massive bodies, thick skin, and prominent horns. An adult white rhinoceros can weigh up to 2,300 kilograms (5,000 pounds) and measure up to 4 meters (13 feet) in length. Their African cousins, the black rhinoceroses, are slightly smaller but equally imposing. The Asian species, while generally smaller, are no less impressive. The greater one-horned rhinoceros, for instance, can weigh up to 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) and is distinguished by its single, prominent horn. Rhinoceroses possess a unique combination of strength, speed, and agility. Despite their bulk, they are capable of running at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour) for short distances. Their thick skin, which can be several centimeters thick, provides protection against predators and the harsh elements of their environment. Feeding Habits and Diet Rhinoceroses are primarily herbivores, relying on a diet of grasses, leaves, shoots, and fruits. The specific diet of a rhinoceros varies depending on its species and habitat. White rhinoceroses, for example, are grazers that primarily feed on grasses, using their wide, square lips to crop the vegetation close to the ground. In contrast, black rhinoceroses are browsers, feeding on leaves, twigs, and shrubs, which they grasp with their pointed, prehensile lips. The greater one-horned rhinoceros, found in the floodplain grasslands and forests of India and Nepal, is an opportunistic feeder that consumes a variety of vegetation, including grasses, fruits, and aquatic plants. The Javan and Sumatran rhinoceroses, both critically endangered, inhabit dense tropical forests and have diets that include a wide range of foliage and fruit. Rhinoceroses have a complex digestive system adapted to process fibrous plant material. Their large, multi-chambered stomachs and specialized gut flora enable them to break down cellulose and extract nutrients from their diet. However, their slow metabolism means that they must consume large quantities of food to meet their energy needs. Territoriality and Social Structure Rhinoceroses are generally solitary animals, with each individual maintaining a home range that it marks and defends. Territorial behavior is most pronounced in male rhinoceroses, who establish and defend territories to secure access to resources and mating opportunities. Female rhinoceroses also have home ranges, but they are typically less aggressive in defending them. Territorial disputes among male rhinoceroses can be intense and violent. Males use their horns and powerful bodies to assert dominance and establish hierarchies. These confrontations, while often ritualized, can result in serious injuries or even death. The scars and wounds on a male rhinoceros's body are often a testament to its battles for territory and dominance. Female rhinoceroses, while generally more tolerant of each other, can also be territorial, especially when rearing young. Mothers are highly protective of their calves, and the bond between a mother and her offspring is strong and enduring. Calves remain with their mothers for several years, learning essential survival skills and integrating into the social structure of their species. Reproduction and Maternal Care The reproductive cycle of rhinoceroses is closely tied to their solitary nature and territorial behavior. Mating typically occurs when a female enters estrus, and males compete for the opportunity to mate with her. The courtship process can be lengthy and involves vocalizations, scent marking, and physical displays. The gestation period for rhinoceroses is among the longest of any land mammal, lasting between 15 to 18 months, depending on the species. This prolonged gestation results in the birth of a single calf, which is typically born in a secluded and safe area within the mother's home range. At birth, a rhinoceros calf can weigh between 40 to 65 kilograms (88 to 143 pounds) and is capable of standing and walking within hours. Maternal care in rhinoceroses is both attentive and protective. Mothers nurse their calves for up to two years, providing them with the necessary nutrients and protection during their vulnerable early years. Calves are highly dependent on their mothers, learning to forage, avoid predators, and navigate their environment through close observation and imitation. The bond between a mother and her calf is strong, and the two often remain together for several years. As the calf matures, it gradually becomes more independent, eventually leaving its mother's home range to establish its own territory or integrate into the social structure of its species. Communication and Behavior Rhinoceroses use a variety of vocalizations, body language, and scent markings to communicate with one another. Their vocalizations include grunts, snorts, bellows, and growls, each serving a specific purpose in their social interactions. For example, mothers use soft grunts to communicate with their calves, while males use loud bellows and growls to assert dominance and deter rivals. Scent marking is another crucial aspect of rhinoceros communication. Rhinoceroses possess large scent glands located near their tails, which they use to deposit pheromones on vegetation and the ground. These scent markings convey information about an individual's identity, reproductive status, and territorial boundaries. By analyzing these scent marks, other rhinoceroses can determine the presence and status of potential mates or rivals. Body language also plays a significant role in rhinoceros communication. Open-mouth displays, horn posturing, and ear positioning are all used to convey intentions and emotions. For example, a rhinoceros may lower its head and point its horn forward as a sign of aggression or dominance, while a relaxed posture with ears back can indicate submission or non-threat. Habitat and Distribution Rhinoceroses inhabit a range of habitats across Africa and Asia, each species adapted to its unique environment. The white and black rhinoceroses of Africa are primarily found in savannas, grasslands, and shrublands, where they have access to abundant vegetation and water sources. The greater one-horned rhinoceros, native to the Indian subcontinent, thrives in floodplain grasslands, riverine forests, and swamps. The Javan and Sumatran rhinoceroses, the most endangered of the species, inhabit dense tropical forests in Indonesia. These elusive animals are adapted to the lush, humid environments of their forest habitats, where they feed on a diverse array of plant species. The distribution of rhinoceroses has been significantly impacted by human activities, including habitat destruction, agricultural expansion, and poaching. As a result, their populations have declined dramatically, and their range has been reduced to fragmented and isolated pockets within protected areas and national parks. Conservation and Threats Rhinoceroses face numerous threats from human activities, with poaching being the most significant. Rhinoceros horns, composed of keratin, the same material as human hair and nails, are highly valued in traditional medicine and as status symbols. This demand has driven a relentless and illegal poaching industry that has decimated rhinoceros populations across their range. Habitat loss and fragmentation also pose significant challenges to rhinoceros conservation. Agricultural expansion, urban development, and infrastructure projects encroach upon their natural habitats, reducing the availability of suitable areas for foraging and breeding. Additionally, human-wildlife conflicts arise when rhinoceroses venture into agricultural areas, leading to crop damage and retaliatory killings. Climate change represents another long-term threat to rhinoceroses and their habitats. Changes in precipitation patterns, increased frequency of droughts, and altered vegetation dynamics can affect the availability of water and food resources, crucial for rhinoceros survival. As water sources dwindle and vegetation patterns shift, rhinoceroses may be forced to adapt to new environmental conditions or face increased competition for resources. The Importance of Conservation Efforts Conservation efforts are essential to protect rhinoceroses from the myriad threats they face and ensure their long-term survival. Establishing and maintaining protected areas, such as national parks and wildlife reserves, is a critical step in providing safe havens where rhinoceroses can thrive without the pressures of habitat destruction and poaching. Anti-poaching initiatives are vital for combating the illegal trade in rhinoceros horns. These efforts include employing well-trained and equipped ranger teams, implementing advanced surveillance technologies, and enhancing law enforcement and legal frameworks to deter poaching activities. Community-based conservation programs also play a crucial
