Javan Rhinos may have reached numbers as low as 35 in the wild. With out a doubt, this puts the Javan Rhino in first for most threatened rhino species. The surviving individuals reside in the Ujung Kulon National Park. This park is in Javan, Indonesia hence the name Javan Rhino.
As with out rhino species, the Javan Rhino has reached such a low population due to poaching for horns. Habitat degradation also greatly affects this species because they live in such a small area. The remaining individuals may be in a National Park, but they are still disturbed by pressures in the surrounding forests. The small size of the current population also leads to concerns about genetic diversity.
