Fewer than 80 Javan rhinos remain on Earth, all within a single Indonesian national park. Their survival hangs by a thread as poaching, invasive plants, and shrinking habitat push them closer to extinction. Your support can help protect this last population, restore their forest home, and help give the rhinos a fighting chance. By strengthening ranger patrols, removing invasive palms, and empowering local communities, you can help secure a future where Javan rhinos not only survive, but thrive.
The Javan Rhino - the last of their kind - live only in Ujung Kulon National Park, Indonesia and face severe threats, including poaching, invasive Arenga palms that reduce habitat, limited anger resources, and low community engagement. These pressures hinder monitoring and protection, placing the critically small population of Javan Rhinos and the wider ecosystem at serious risk.
Working with our local project partner Ofora Trust, the national park and other conservation experts, the project aims to remove invasive palms, restore rhino grazing areas, and strengthen protection through GPS tracking, camera monitoring, and trained anti-poaching rangers. By empowering patrol teams and local communities, the project creates safe corridors and sustainable livelihoods for long-term Javan rhino security.
The project safeguards the last remaining Javan rhinos, restores vital food sources, and reduces human threats. With enhanced monitoring, stronger ranger capacity, and community support, the national park becomes a safer, more resilient habitat. These efforts help prevent extinction, promote ecosystem recovery, and secure a future where Javan rhinos can grow and once again thrive.
