Vietnamese Javan Rhino - Road to Extinction

[@Stoethoeve]

Dear Sarah, Simon, Julie, Gert and all the Vietnamese people who try; thank you so much for your efforts, it is not wasted. Annamiticus lives in our hearts and poachers never will. They cannot but hide from us. Protection, publication will save many others. My compliments to you all, Arjan/Help Anna

Da fuck? I watched this and it got stuck on the picture of rhino dung LMAO symbol of great pride indeed

[@spycyfruit]

same lol

[@juliannebecker78]

Awh, so frustrating that it freezes on the poo. I have the un-glitched version on my Vimeo account. I am the filmmaker. Let me know WWF if you would like it.

[@BeegBWolf]

why the fuck did the video stop at a dung picture for nearly 3 minutes?

[@forestdweller5581]

Love and respect for Sarah Brooke, thank you for your commitment.

[@63SSD]

not all vietnamese are bad! I bet there are some vienamese people out there that want to save the rhino just as much as we do!

[@Mad_Madalyn]

There hasn't been a Javan Rhino in captivity since 1907. Unfortunately, efforts to breed endangered species in captivity offer mixed results. There are examples such as the California condor, which proved successful, but critically endangered species like the South China Tiger are exploited by some people who seek to breed them in farms for a profit. Inbreeding of captive animals is another problem, and often the state of their natural habitat is diminishing so release won't ensure survival.

@thebrantacanadenis1x You make an very good point. I heard you would need 50 animals for genetic diversity, so if I were them i would of took them to the places with high numbers of rhinos and rare or none poaching activity. Also I am Vietnamese and i approve of the second message .

[@forestdweller5581]

Sarah Brooke is a fantastic researcher. If not for her this species wouldn't even be known. And let it be known. I will not forget the Vietnamese rhino.

[@irfansuwandi842]

The exotic animal hunting started since the European countries invaded Southeast Asian countries. Never blame the local, they try so hard to keep the ecosystem being nature.

[@joeday397]

Stupid....who do you think killed the last one in cat tien?locals.

[@thebrantacanadenis1x]

I didn't think the Vietnamese Rhinos would survive, even if they beat the poachers there was still too few and inbreeding would get them instead. At least the Javan Rhinos in Java have a stable and maybe even growing population. Oh ya, the guys who are all hating the Vietnamese and China and whatever, stop it. There can be assholes anywhere. You know it was also the Vietnamese who outlawed rhino poaching and it was also the Vietnamese who supported rhino research till the end.

[@tancheesiong4409]

Humanity are taking the steps towards their own destruction as well

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

The 2010 carcass should be used to genetically engineer the Vietnamese rhino back into existence. I trust the bones were frozen.

[@ALEXANDER31988]

Its both habitat loss and poaching what drives rhinos into extinction. But poaching of both elefants and rhino is getting more and more a problem. And they have even stolen rhinohorns from museums in Europe for example. And that has to do with the growing demand in China because more people and more people have the money to buy ivory and rhinohorn.

[@hitterbrehm]

You know, every time I travel from Ho Chi Minh city to my hometown Dalat, I see people drive small truck carry large blocks of wood in the dark, no one do anything to shop them.

[@MohamEzr]

Don't I understand how can a amazing animals horn prove to be medicinal?? Really disheartning to see the rhinos getting killed for something which is precious to them... Don't know when will humans start to love and respect animals... And stop hunting them! Please humans stop hunting animals please....

Rocky KTM i agree

[@lesky06300]

The last rhino is dead :( Poor world, we are all destructing our earth :(

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

Probably so. Both instances are sickening for sure, though.

[@wotanmituns33]

@Orclaeder this subspecie only existed there... now its totally gone ;/

[@tomerzafon4]

A coservation efforts? I simply called it "preserving the reality"

[@Bambridge99]

who the fu#k would kill a beautiful animal like that driving it to extinction

[@natija08]

It's so very sad.

[@R3XYY]

And now they are gone…

[@GrandmasterDinnerRoll]

No they're not

[@FireUpTheTelevision]

Grandmaster Dinner Roll They are.

[@GrandmasterDinnerRoll]

FireUpTheTelevision They're not extinct...

[@FireUpTheTelevision]

Grandmaster Dinner Roll They are, Vietnamese rhinos have been extinct since 2011.

[@GrandmasterDinnerRoll]

FireUpTheTelevision These are Javan rhinos and they're not extinct.

[@hotman718]

really sad

[@Weigazod]

@Vietnameyes I don't know who next, but i do know human is the last one. I hope Indonesia will not repeat what my nation had failed.

[@ahyarhartanto1802]

their number is rising to 72 this year, the govt are now considering to reintroduce them to their former habitat. it's sad the only reason they survive in java is due to mount krakatoa.

[@abacalap]

indochinese tiger less than 15 :(

[@JA-ft1qk]

😔😭

[@yuropol]

there has not been one in captivity@Jerryguy1818 no sense

[@minecraftmaster4405]

Poaching is getting worse every day we must stop it

[@travohuy]

so sad :(

[@weirdowhisper]

poor rhinos & other animals :C

[@fwmiguel9439]

They went extinct today I honestly have no words to describe humans :(

[@ENZOxDV9]

They're not extinct, there's still about 60 left in the wild

[@nathanaels74]

Vietnamese javan rhino are extinct but their closest relative javan rhino in ujung kulon java has 72, so their closest relative still extinct

[@jed_123]

get some in zoos plse

[@Aethuviel]

Back when they were held in captivity, they died young and never bred. But that was over one hundred years ago, and now it feels almost like it would be worth the risk, just to protect them from poachers and breed them in a controlled environment. (Anyone knows why rhinos in general breed so poorly in captivity?)

[@jed_123]

***** artelinseminet

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

They probably needed a larger habitat.

[@rianpermanaputra7595]

Look similiar with IMAN

[@TESTAWLUV]

Too bad so sad Vietnamese people.

[@togian755]

Too late. They are now officially extinct in this country. You may as well unpost this.

[@nanomicroart]

Truly sad to know how cruel some people are when it comes to very unique creatures, all for money, no animal is safe living in the wild, the poacher are going to kill all of them, it will take time for poacher to make all targeted species extinct, one by one, poacher don't care about the Uniqueness of Creatures Trying To LIVE in their homelands. Thank you for the video & all your efforts to help animals, MAYBE Day MORE PEOPLE will come to Aid Those In Need. "YOURTH OF THE WORLD WAKE UP& LOOK ?!"

[@UniblueMedia]

Egoists...

[@rub3nski]

i love how brits have cut down almost all trees on their island then go to other countries and say DONT CUT TREES lol we rich but you stay poor cause its good for environment lol

[@guyonangolekduit6501]

Congratulation you are failed to protect Vietnamese Javan Rhino, the last one has been killed by poacher. Shame on you vietnam eand other international wildlife organization.

[@ALEXANDER31988]

Well ones species may get extinct hopefully very soon, Homo sapiens!

[@GrandmasterDinnerRoll]

Aaaannnddd you're an idiot.
