News From Our Partners: Javan Rhino Poaching
Poaching news From via the International Rhino Foundation:
May 10th Javan Rhino Killed by Poachers
Very sad news - one of the few remaining Javan rhinos in Vietnam was killed by a poacher. Prior to this death, we estimated that only 3 - 5 Javan rhinos survived in Vietnam. We know very little about this small population, and so IRF is currently funding studies to determine the sex ratio and other genetic information ...about the Javan rhinos in Vietnam to help come up with appropriate management plans for these animals.
