The Javan rhino, one of the world's rarest large mammals, is critically endangered, with only a small population surviving in Indonesia's Ujung Kulon National Park. Habitat loss, poaching, and natural disasters pose significant threats to their survival. Conservationists are working to expand their habitat and prevent poaching through increased security measures. The Javan rhino's story is a testament to the challenges of protecting large, solitary animals and the need for international cooperation in conservation efforts. Their survival is a symbol of hope for the preservation of ancient species.
