Meet the Sumatran Rhino | Explorers Festival 2019

With fewer than 80 Sumatran rhinos left, the species is at risk of becoming the largest mammal to become extinct this century. Four leaders in the field share their efforts-including their cutting-edge conservation techniques-to save the world’s smallest, hairiest rhino.
Speakers: Colby Bishop, Corey Jaskolski, Kira Mileham, CeCe Sieffert, Moderated by Catherine Workman

Don’t lose hope we made 400 California condors out of 24 individuals I’m pretty sure we can make 80,000 Sumatran rhinos out of a population of 80 who’s with me!?

I hope they can achieve it. The most important step is to mitigate poaching in my mind.

what about the Javanese rhinos?

[@user-yo9ve4kw8b]

Not an expert but the Javan rhino have slightly better circumstances since all of them located only in one area, Ujung Kulon National Park. For many decades they've been thriving by their own although their number also isn't great but they're able to meet each other for breeding. Not like sumatran rhino, where their habitat is scattered.

[@Alternatives_Universum]

Also I was wondering. As far as I know there are just 35 to 50 of them left.

[@kristijanpanev6980]

@@Alternatives_Universum Now they are around 67 individuals in Ujung Kulon National Park
