The Javan rhinos, rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus, of Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam: current status and management implications

Recent studies into the plight of the Javan rhinoceros in Vietnam (Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus) are presented in this report. The January 1999 rhino survey in Cat Tien National Park estimates the number of rhinos surviving to be seven or eight. Over recent years their range has severely diminished and is now a mere 6,500 ha. The preliminary findings of an on-going camera-trapping exercise are presented here, including the first-ever pictures made of Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus. A literature review discusses the past status of the Javan rhino in Vietnam. Management implications include a discussion on improved protection and zoning of the protected area in which the rhinos occur. RESUMEE
