Indian Rhinoceros (Greater One-horned Rhino) Rhinoceros unicornis
The largest of the three rhino species in Asia, the Indian Rhino has a distinctive and unique armour-plated look which lends them a fairytale quality that has captivated admirers for aeons. Although Indian rhino numbers have climbed over the past decades due to conservation, they are under imminent threat from the expansion of palm oil deforestation in the Assam region of India. A protected national park there is earmarked for destruction. Use your wallet as a weapon every time you shop and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
The Rarest Rhino: The Two Last Northern White Rhinos of Kenya
The rarest rhino in the world can be found wallowing in the mud at the Ol Pejeta Nature Conservancy in Kenya. Constantly guarded by vigilant rifle-clad guards, these two animals have no idea that they are the last members of their kind. They are northern white rhinos – the very last northern white rhinos anywhere on Earth. They have been poached to the very edge of extinction, with virtually no hope for recovery. Could this be the saddest story ever told? Likely! Vehemently and strongly oppose all forms of trophy hunting and poaching wherever you see it and #Boycott4Wildlife
Javan Rhinoceros Rhinoceros sondaicus
The Javan rhinoceros, also called the Sunda rhinoceros, is a critically endangered species and one of the world’s rarest large mammals. There are only a few dozen left alive in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia. Javan rhinos once lived throughout northeast India and Southeast Asia. Vietnam’s last Javan rhino was poached in 2010. they now survive only in Ujung Kulon National Park on the island of Java, with fewer than 75 individuals remaining.
Their decline has been driven by palm oil deforestation, poaching for their horns, and competition with invasive plant species like the Arenga palm, which reduces food availability. Saving the Javan rhinoceros is critical to preserving the biodiversity of their rainforest home. Fight for their survival by boycotting products linked to deforestation.
