*The previous estimate submitted to the IUCN’s Asian Rhino Specialist Group (AsRSG) in 2022 was 76 animals. However, news has emerged recently of up to 26 rhinos being illegally killed by poachers between 2019 and 2023. Investigations continue but the specific number of Javan rhinos remaining is therefore uncertain.
