Javan rhinoceroses are endangered due to a combination of factors:
1. Habitat Loss and Fragmentation
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation reduce space and prevent gene flow.
2. Poaching
Demand for rhino horn in traditional medicine and high black market prices drive poaching.
3. Human-Wildlife Conflict
Competition for resources and retaliatory killings when rhinos become aggressive.
4. Other Factors
Disease, reduced genetic diversity, and climate change impacts.
The Javan rhinoceros is critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals found only in Ujung Kulon National Park in Indonesia. Conservation efforts are underway, but the species remains at high risk of extinction.
