Extinction of Rhinoceros in Borneo Island Indonesia

Sunday, November 17, 2019
Rhino in the jungle of Sumatra

It is called Sumatra rhino, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, had been lived in three places:
- Malaysia peninsula, Malaysia
- Borneo, belong to both Malaysia and Indonesian
- Sumatra, Indonesia bigger Island

Rhino was declared extinct in Malaysia Borneo in 2015, and the last Rhino founded died in Malaysia peninsula in 2016.

People had seen few rhinos in Indonesian Borneo, and estimated no more than 80 rhinos live in Sumatra rain forest.

Why rhinos population depleted and even extinction in some areas? The reasons:
- hunting for pleasure
- poaching for rhino horns
- habitat loss due to palm plantations and other purposes
- forest burning every year for industry purposes.

The rhino horn is believed to have specif values, hence trade illegally. Demand for horns are increasing dramatically since 2007.

Super natural beliefs of rhino horns are:
- good for traditional medicine such as Chinese medicines
- tonic of rhino horns could de-toxify body, especially after drinking alcohol.
- symbol for wealth and success.

Forest burning not only affect on rhino population, but also caused endangered for many animals. They are included:
- Clouded leopard
- Sun bear
- Elephant
- Tiger
- Orangutan

Burning produces carbon dioxide in great number compared to industries producing. This is a man made catastrophe where the smokes spread to neighboring countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

This intentionally forest burning need to be stopped by international community soon.
