Badak Jawa is now only found in Ujung Kulon National Park (TNUT), Banten. Besides in Indonesia, Badak Jawa (Rhinocerus sondaicus) is also available in Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam. The last individual outside TNUT, was found shot by poachers in Tasikmalaya in 1934. Now specimennya stored at the Zoological Museum of Bogor.
This rhino is probably the rarest mammals on earth. Based on the population of Badak Jawa census conducted by the Center TNUK, WWF - IP and YMR in 2001 estimated the number of rhinos in Ujung Kulon population ranges from 50-60 tail. The last census carried out Hall TN Ujung Kulon in 2006 estimated the range of the Badak Jawa population is 20 - 27 animals. While the population in the Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam, estimated that only 8 tails (2007).
The population of one horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros Java) that only 30 of the tail is much smaller than the population of his brother, Sumatran Rhinoceros which is estimated to range between 215 -319 tail. Also, far fewer than the population of other animals such as Sumatran Tiger (400-500 heads), Eagle Java (600 heads), Anoa (5000 head).
