76 Remaining in the World, Bogor Safari Park Will Relocate Javan Rhinos to Ujung Kulon Safari Park
Best for you, Bogor - Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is now a rare species that can only be found in Indonesia.
However, the existence of the Javan rhinoceros now has a new hope for breeding through the ongoing translocation program in Ujung Kulon National Park, Banten.
So far, the Javan rhinoceros species has only 76 individuals left in the world.
The heart-wrenching number that also ignites the spirit of conservationists.
It is important to note that the activities carried out in June 2025 are still in the intensive preparation phase towards the Javan rhinoceros translocation.
The translocation process has not been carried out yet, but each of these preparation steps is a crucial foundation that will determine the success of the mission to save the last rhinoceros in the world.
Preparation Mission Starts: Transport of the Cage to Ujung Kulon
On June 2-3, 2025, an important preparatory stage will begin.
A joint team consisting of various institutions, including Taman Safari Bogor, carried out the transfer of the rhinoceros transport cage towards the location that will become the translocation site in Ujung Kulon National Park.
The process is not easy - the cage must be partially dismantled, transported using trucks and cranes, even using a boat to reach the remote location.
"Every detail is very important in this preparation. The transport crate is not just a means of transportation, but a 'temporary home' that will determine the rhino's safety during the translocation process," explained one of the field team members.
Upon arriving at the location, the cage was reassembled carefully as part of the preparation.
Tim conducted a thorough check on the strength and safety of the cage to ensure nothing was missed.
Rhino safety is the top priority that cannot be compromised when the actual translocation is carried out.
Well-prepared: International Expert Team Collaboration
From June 4-6, 2025, the preparation phase enters a more intensive stage.
Medical staff and experts from various institutions gathered to carry out a series of crucial preparations, including:
Sharing Veterinary Knowledge and Ethical Assessment (ETHAS)
Tim consisting of the Directorate of Species and Genetic Conservation from the Ministry of Forestry, Ujung Kulon National Park Office, Yayasan Badak Indonesia, IPB University, Leibniz-IZW Germany, University of Padua-Italy, Taman Safari Bogor, and ALeRT Indonesia held in-depth discussions on medical and ethical aspects in rhinoceros translocation.
Finalization of Technical and Medical Needs
Every technical and medical aspect is evaluated to support the translocation process, both at the translocation site and in the existing holding enclosures within the Javan Rhino Study and Conservation Area (JRSCA).
Vital Role of Bogor Safari Park: Experienced Veterinarians Participate
Taman Safari Bogor sent two experienced veterinarians, Dr. Dita, Dr. Bongot, and Dr. Dito, to join this historic mission.
Their presence brings expertise and years of experience in handling large mammals, especially rhinoceroses.
drh.Dita revealed that this is a very historic and touching preparation moment for us.
As a veterinarian who has handled rhinos for many years, I feel a mixture of pride, emotion, and great hope.
The Javan rhinoceros is a world heritage that only Indonesia has.
Every step in this relocation preparation is a real effort to provide a better future for this rare species.
She hopes that when the actual translocation is carried out, this program can increase reproduction opportunities and expand the rhino's habitat, so their population can recover from the brink of extinction.
Why Is the Translocation of Javan Rhinoceros Very Important?
With only 76 individuals remaining in the world and all of them located in one place, the Javan rhinoceros is extremely vulnerable to extinction in case of a natural disaster or disease outbreak.
Relocation is an important solution for spreading risks by moving some rhinos to a new habitat.
This program also opens up opportunities for more diverse marriages, thus reducing inbreeding, while providing space
A wider life to reduce competition for food and territory.
Thus, translocation is the key to saving the Javan rhinoceros from total extinction.
New Hope for Indonesian Wildlife Conservation
The preparation for the Javan rhinoceros relocation is not just about moving the animal from one place to another.
This is a symbolism of Indonesia's commitment to preserving its invaluable biodiversity wealth.
Collaboration between domestic and foreign institutions shows that conservation is a shared responsibility.
Every preparation step is carefully carried out, starting from technical, medical, to ethical aspects, to ensure the rhinoceros's well-being when the actual translocation is conducted.
Javan Rhinoceros: Only Indonesia Has It
The phrase "Banteng Jawa only Indonesia has" is not just a slogan, but a reminder of the great responsibility that this nation bears.
As the only country in the world that still has the Javan rhinoceros, Indonesia has a moral obligation to ensure this species does not become extinct in our generation.
Through the active participation of Taman Safari Bogor and other institutions in this preparation stage, the hope to see the Javan rhinoceros population recover is becoming more tangible.
Every well-prepared step will become the foundation for future translocation, bringing one step closer to a brighter future for this rare species.
Let's jointly support the Javan rhinoceros conservation efforts.
Because when the last species in the world gets a second chance, it is an opportunity for all of us to prove that humans can be protectors, not destroyers of nature. (*)
