Rhinos are one of the most poached animals on the planet. Their horns are used in traditional Chinese medicine and displayed as a symbol and demonstration of wealth. Because of poaching, three of the five species of rhinos are among the most endangered animals in 2023: the Black rhino, the Javan rhino and the Sumatran rhino. The Javan rhino is the closest to extinction with only around 60 individuals left, all of which are in Ujung Kulon National Park in Indonesia, while Black rhino population is estimated to be around 5,500 individuals.
