Why Adopt A Rhino?????




There are numerous activities required to ensure the survival of Javan rhinos in the wild. These activities include:
1. Protection (Patrol)
2. Habitat management and optimalization
3. Research on Javan rhinos (biology, health, behaviour, distribution, etc)
4. Community Empowerment (to prevent local people from disturbing the rhinos)
5. Locating second habitat (for improving chance of reproduction)

Unfortunately, all these activities cost money. With current population of Javan Rhinos in Ujung Kulon, it takes approximately 100 million IDR to maintain one individual javan rhino.

By adopting the Javan rhino, you help reduce their burden by providing funds required to ensure their preservation; thus increasing the chance of survival of the critically endangered species.
