In the last issue of Pachyderm (Number 26), there was an article entitled 'Conservation Programmes for Sumatran and Javan Rhino in Indonesia and Malaysia'. Table 3 ('Summary of captive (managed breeding) programmes for Sumatran rhinos 1984-1999') contained a serious misalignment of columns and failed to reflect the repatriation of a male rhino from the UK to Indonesia. A corrected version of the table appears below.

As reported in the last AsRSG Chair Report, a global set of management masterplan assessments and recommendations was formulated in February 1999 at Sungai Dusun Sumatran Rhino Conservation Centre for the 5/12 rhino in managed breeding facilities. These assessments and recommendations appear in the next table below.
