Javan Rhinos are critically endangered, with fewer than 80 left in just one national park. Vital in boosting biodiversity through feeding, seed dispersal, and wallows, they remain at risk from poaching, habitat loss, disease, and low genetic diversity, where each calf counts. Act before they vanish.

The Javan rhino in Ujung Kulon National Park faces severe threats that jeopardise its survival. Poaching remains a constant danger, while invasive species like Arenga palms degrade and shrink their habitat. Lack of resources, ranger training and deployment, and low community engagement has led to limited population monitoring, hampering protection efforts. These combined challenges threaten the already critically low population and risk the collapse of the delicate ecosystem they help sustain.
Together with our project partner, Ofora Trust, and the national park, your support will help restore vital Javan rhino habitat by removing invasive Arenga palms and reviving native grazing areas. GPS tracking, camera monitoring, and specially trained anti-poaching rangers will help protect the rhinos. Empowering ranger patrols and the local community creates safe corridors and sustainable livelihoods, helping secure a future for the Javan rhino and strengthening the ecosystem in National Park.
