Calves of Hope

Javan rhinoceros used to inhabit the mainland, but due to poaching, they became extinct and currently only about 60 individuals live in Indonesia's Ujung Kulon National Park. Due to their extremely low numbers, there were concerns about their ability to reproduce successfully in the wild, but in recent years, calves have been confirmed. The current habitat of the Javan rhinoceros has a high risk of natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, and the environment surrounding them is still challenging, but the birth of new lives can be a significant source of hope.

Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) According the the Wolrd Wildlife Fund: “Javan rhinos are the most threatened of the five rhino species, with only 58-68 individuals that live only 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. This species is a dusky grey color and has a single horn of up to about 10 inches. Its skin has a number of loose folds, giving the appearance of armor plating. The Javan rhino is very similar in appearance to the closely-related greater one-horned rhinoceros, but has a much smaller head and less apparent skin folds.” Javan rhinoceros (#criticallyendangered #endangered #endangeredspecies javanrhinoceros #javanrhino #rhino #rhinos #art #drawing #ipadpro #applepencil #line #lines #blackandwhite #animals #illustration #quarantineart #2020 #2020art #meditativeart #adobe #adobefresco #fresco #apple #vectors #vectorart #vector digital #digitaldrawing #california #May2020 @wwf (at Stallion Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAynr4rAufx/?igshid=3bvm40jnjxdv
