Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus)
Javan rhino ‘now extinct in Vietnam’
“A critically endangered species of rhino is now extinct in Vietnam, according to a report by conservation groups.
The WWF and the International Rhino Foundation said the country’s last Javan rhino was probably killed by poachers, as its horn had been cut off.
Experts said the news was not a surprise, as only one sighting had been recorded in Vietnam since 2008.
Fewer than 50 individuals are now estimated to remain in the wild.”
Organisations trying to save the last few Javan Rhinos include: Saving Rhinos, WWF and the International Rhino Foundation.
