About
RHINO PROTECTION UNITS (RPUS) RIGOROUSLY PATROL FORESTS TO DESTROY SNARES AND TRAPS (THE MAIN METHOD OF POACHING FOR THESE SPECIES) AND APPREHEND POACHERS. BY MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, RPUS ALSO CAN PROACTIVELY PREVENT POACHING ATTEMPTS BEFORE THEY TAKE PLACE. RPUS HAVE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IN PROTECTING THE RHINO FROM POACHERS - ONLY FIVE SUMATRAN RHINOS HAVE BEEN LOST TO POACHERS SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE PROGRAM IN THE MID-1990S, AND NO JAVAN RHINOS HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE RPUS' CONSISTENT PRESENCE AND PATROLLING ALSO BENEFITS THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM, INCLUDING OTHER SPECIES SUCH AS SUMATRAN TIGERS AND ELEPHANTS. ELEVEN PATROL UNITS OPERATE IN BUKIT BARISAN SELATAN NATIONAL PARK IN SUMATRA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY AREAS FOR SUMATRAN MEGAFAUNA. APPROXIMATELY 5-24 SUMATRAN RHINOS INHABIT THE PARK, ALONG WITH 40-50 SUMATRAN TIGERS AND AROUND 300 ASIAN ELEPHANTS. NINE PATROL UNITS OPERATE IN WAY KAMBAS NATIONAL PARK, WHICH HAS A RESIDENT POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 30 SUMATRAN RHINOS. THE PARK ALSO CONTAINS THE SUMATRAN RHINO SANCTUARY. FIVE RPUS PROTECT JAVAN RHINOS IN UJUNG KULON NATIONAL PARK, WHERE THE ONLY VIABLE POPULATION OF THE SPECIES EXISTS BETWEEN 67 TO 68 ANIMALS. IRF WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YAYASAN BADAK INDONESIA (YABI), ITS IMPLEMENTING PARTNER IN INDONESIA, NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITIES, AND THE LOCAL, PROVINCIAL, AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TOWARDS THE INDONESIAN RHINO CONSERVATION.SUMATRAN RHINO CONSORTIUM - IRF LEADS A CONSORTIUM OF INTERNATIONAL AND INDONESIAN CONSERVATION NGOS WHOSE FOCUS IS TO REVERSE THE DECLINE OF THE SUMATRAN RHINO.
