Location Borneo Subject Distribution Species Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)

In 1931, the Sumatran rhino was declared a fully protected animal and until 1935 was reported frequently in the mountains of Kalimantan even though experiencing severe hunting pressure by the Dayak people with their spears and pit traps. From the few reports made since 1935 it seems that trapping has continued up to the present.
