Rhinos in Thailand
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2009
Abstract
Of the two rhinos formerly found in Thailand, the Javan is believed now to be extinct there, although the authors of this survey report that some villagers in southern Thailand insist that the rhinos in their area are Javan. The Sumatran rhino is in desperate straits, with poaching a major threat – not surprisingly when a dead animal can be sold for die equivalent of up to twenty years' wages for a farmer.
