Vietnamese Javan Rhino - Road to Extinction

The Javan rhinoceros is now believed to be confined to one population, less than 50 individuals, in a small national park in Indonesia. The species is critically endangered and with demand for rhino horn for the Asian traditional medicine trade increasing every year, protection and expansion of the Indonesian population is the highest priority.

Severed poacher dicks cure cancer! Spread the word!

Truly sad to know how cruel some people are when it comes to very unique creatures, all for money, no animal is safe living in the wild, the poacher are going to kill all of them, it will take time for poacher to make all targeted species extinct, one by one, poacher don't care about the Uniqueness of Creatures Trying To LIVE in their homelands. Thank you for the video & all your efforts to help animals, MAYBE Day MORE PEOPLE will come to Aid Those In Need. "YOURTH OF THE WORLD WAKE UP& LOOK ?!"

WWF is a great help to wildlife but we arent doing enough. we have no choice but to get more measures into stuff like this. rhinos and national parks should be monitored closely and any loggers and poachers should be hunted down and imprisoned. our generation is the people that decide the future of these creature. armies and police forces should get involved and together we can help.

@thebrantacanadenis1x You make an very good point. I heard you would need 50 animals for genetic diversity, so if I were them i would of took them to the places with high numbers of rhinos and rare or none poaching activity. Also I am Vietnamese and i approve of the second message .

[thebrantacanadenis1x]

I didn't think the Vietnamese Rhinos would survive, even if they beat the poachers there was still too few and inbreeding would get them instead. At least the Javan Rhinos in Java have a stable and maybe even growing population. Oh ya, the guys who are all hating the Vietnamese and China and whatever, stop it. There can be assholes anywhere. You know it was also the Vietnamese who outlawed rhino poaching and it was also the Vietnamese who supported rhino research till the end.
