Javan Rhino Extinct in Vietnam

The Javan Rhino has just been declared extinct in Vietnam. Despite a national park being created for their protection (Cat Tien National Park), their small numbers and the constant threat of poaching has meant that they have disappeared from the wild in Vietnam. The last surviving rhino was believed to have been shot for their horn. It is now believed that there are fewer than 50 Javan rhinos remaining in the wild, all in Indonesia.
