He leaves behind a daughter and a grand daughter so Sudan did his part to save his species.  Now the whole hope of the northern white rhinos rests on whether the females can conceive from sperm samples from deceased males that have been gathered when ever possible. 
We may yet lose the northern white rhino, but it won't be for lack of trying. Humans are responsible for the danger the species is in, but we are trying to make it right.

Sudan will be missed. He was a symbol of the efforts being made to save rhinos. Even in death he will still be a symbol of species on the brink. 
Rest in peace Sudan. You did your part.

I am very touched with this news. I made a tshirt to remember the presence of the rhino. https://teespring.com/world-s-last-male-northern-wh.
