The
Sumatran rhino is hanging on by a thread. In 2019,
when Malaysia's last two captive Sumatran rhinos died,
Indonesia became the only place left in the entire world that
these rhinos can call home. Now, fewer than 80 of these
incredible beasts remain alive, and if we don't act fast,
those last individuals will go the way of Malaysia's rhinos —
disappearing forever. That's why we're calling on the Indonesian
government to do everything it can to save
them.
Rhinos have an extremely low
birth rate. This already made their survival difficult, but in
the face of human construction, climate change, habitat loss,
and poaching, it's become almost impossible. But with
help from experts, we can save them. When
conservationists intervened to save the Javan rhino, another
endangered species, their population successfully rebounded.
If we do the right thing, we could be celebrating the same
milestone for the Sumatran rhino in a few years — but we don't
have a minute to lose. Sign the petition to tell the Indonesian
government to prioritize both saving the Sumatran rhino from
extinction and re-introducing them to the wild throughout
their historic habitat.
Thank you for all that you do,
