SAVING THE JAVAN RHINO

 

With approximately 50 individuals left on the planet, and exclusively found in the Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia, the critically endangered Javan rhino is on the verge of extinction. The International Rhino Keeper Association (IRKA) is comprised of rhino keepers from around the world, and we need your help to save the Javan rhino.

 

We have designed a limited-edition graphic for our Bonfire t-shirt and hoodie campaign to raise funds to support the International Rhino Foundation's Javan rhino conservation program.

​

Funds raised could go toward one or more of the following essential projects:

• Rhino Protection and Monitoring: anti-poaching, snare removal, location and identification of rhinos, identify and remediation of threats (disease, invasive species, human-wildlife conflict).

• Habitat Management and Establishment of Future Habitats: invasive plant species control, human encroachment control, investigation of new habitat locations to support a second Javan rhino population in Indonesia.

• Community Engagement and Empowerment: supporting local communities to earn a living without the need of exploitation of wildlife, empowering women to become entrepreneurs.
