The study aims to determine the status of the rhino habitat conditions and population. The experiment was conducted in Kutai Barat and Mahakam Ulu , East Kalimantan. In this study used a grid of 4x4 km ² ² divided into 2x2 cells with an area of 240 km² observations which represent 15 % of Zone 1 ( 1,600 km² ).
