From 5-7 June 1989, IUCN convened a meeting in conjuction with the Directorate General of Forest protection and Nature conservation (PHPA) of the Indonesian government, an IUCN member since Jan 1985, to discuss ways to implement IUCN's recently published Asian Rhino Action Plan in Indonesia. The meeting recommended that Javan rhinos be caught in Ujung Kulon NP and bred in captivity in Indonesia. Way Kambas NP in South Sumatra was recommended as a potential re-introduction site.
