Since 1986, Javan Rhinos have been globally identified as a endangered species, and this trend worsen in the year 1996 when the situation escalated into Javan Rhinos been globally identified as critically endangered due to a gradual severe reduction in numbers (IUCN, 2017). Now, having a tiny population would also mean that the ability to populate would be severely limited and may take many decades to recover to a substantial healthy number only if Javan Rhinos are allowed to live under the right conditions.
