Crash! The Saving Rhinos - crashofrhinos.org - community!

Because rhinos need our help.

Hi everyone!

Do you have a favorite rhino species? If so, which one? Why is it your favorite? Can't make up your mind?

In addition to telling us about your favorite rhino species here in the forum, you can vote in our favorite rhino species poll at savingrhinos.org!

The Javan Rhino has a special place in my heart - I started Saving Rhinos because of the Javan Rhino extinction crisis. There are only around 60 individual rhinos living in Ujung Kulon National Park in Indonesia - and only 5 surviving in Cat Loc National Park in Vietnam. There are no Javan Rhinos in captivity.

The International Rhino Foundation helped the Indonesian government develop a strategy for ensuring the continued survival of Javan Rhinos. The top priorities for the future are to increase the population in Ujung Kulon to 70 animals (the park’s carrying capacity) and to then translocate several animals to begin establishing a second population in a secure area.
