Bina, a 22-year-old female, is one of the last Sumatran rhinos to be captured and relocated within Indonesia. Bina was born in southern Sumatra's Bengkulu province, which was formerly home to a significant population of Sumatran rhinoceros. But, by the 1980s, the construction of several villages, large oil palm plantations, and a logging concession had left the province with little habitat for rhinos. Bina and the few other rhinos still living in the area were essentially stranded, with no chance for survival in the wild, and so they were rescued in 1991. Soon after the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary was constructed in 1997, all the Sumatran rhinos remaining in captivity in Indonesia, including Bina, were transferred there. Bina has adapted happily to life at the SRS. She spends her days browsing in her 25-acre forest enclosure, feeding on the dense vegetation and wallowing in the mud.
