<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.rhinos-irf.org/">International Rhino Foundation</a> is dedicated to the survival of the  world’s rhino species through conservation and research.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>IRF in Indonesia</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bowling for Rhinos helps support the work of the IRF in Indonesia in three primary areas. Those are Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks in Sumatra. BFR monies help support on the ground rhino conservation by providing funds for Rhino Protection and Monitoring Units (RPMUs) as well equipment for censusing of rhino populations such as trap cameras.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>Ujung Kulon National Park</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ujung Kulon National Park is situated on the western edge of the island of Java, Indonesia. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1350" title="ujungmap" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/ujungmap.jpg" alt="ujungmap" width="332" height="272" /> It is home to one of the rarest and most endangered rhinos on the planet, the Javan rhino. It is estimated that only 40-60 of these rhinos remain in two distinct populations. The larger population is found in Ujung Kulon and a smaller non-viable population of only 3-5 individuals is found in the Cat Loc region of the Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam.</p>
