PART 2: LIFETIME AND EXTINCTION

EXTINCTION IN VIETNAM
In October 2011 it was confirmed that the Javan Rhino is officially extinct in Vietnam. A dead Javan rhino was found in April 2010 with a single bullet in its leg and its horn were removed. A survey of Cat Tien National Park in 2009-2010 were analysed and all came from this single rhino. Habitat loss played a key role in sealing the fate of the rhino in Vietnam, and without adequate law enforcement and effective management of protected areas other species such as the tiger and the Asian elephant could also disappear from the wild in Vietnam.
