In Vietnam, a coordinated photographic and fecal-DNA census is also being conducted for Rhinoceros sondaicus, where only seven to eight rhinos are estimated (by track/transect censuses in 1998 & 1999). This project is part of the major programme for conservation in Cat Tien National Park with funds provided by the Government of the Netherlands and administered through WWF-Vietnam Programme. The first photos from this study have been widely publicized. The DNA part of the study is also being coordinated with similar research being conducted in Ujung Kulon.
