With our major local partner, the Rhino Foundation of Indonesia (YABI), IRF operates a comprehensive program aimed at protecting and increasing the populations of Sumatran rhinos in Indonesia. Support our work in Indonesia.
Rhinos
Today there are five species and 11 subspecies of rhinos surviving on earth. Two species (Black and White) occur in Africa. Three species (Greater One-horned rhino, Javan, and Sumatran) occur in Asia.
Thousands and especially millions of years ago, rhinos were more diverse, widespread and abundant. Rhinos occurred in North America and Europe as well as in Africa and Asia. The surviving rhinos are precious representatives of the glorious heritage and history of the rhino family on our planet.
