Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)
Intensive protection and management are believed to be necessary because of the precarious situation in the totally free-ranging situation in the wild. This adaptively modified approach was initiated at a PHVA conducted for the Sumatran rhino in Indonesia in 1993, and has come to fruition in Way Kambas NP. The Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (STS) is now fully operational and we look forward to breeding success in the near future.
