We need your help to save the Javan rhinos! Javan rhinos are the world’s most endangered species. Only 67 left compared to 70,000 from the 1970s. These harmless rhinos live in danger every day because poor habitat, severe diseases, and potential inbreeding. However, the biggest danger is poaching.

Poachers seek out these rhinos because of their beautiful ivory hords, which are used to create medicine and jewelry in Asia. Over the past decade, 7100 rhinos have been killed for their ivory. We desperately need to increase efforts to protect the remaining rhinos and prevent their extinction. We must appeal to Javan officials to provide higher security and the equipment necessary to keep these gentle giants safe.
