AsRSG Action Plan. The current status of the species in Thailand is obscure, and requires investigation. If any animals survive, it is most unlikely that they do so in viable populations. As such, any animals would best be captured for a captive breeding programme (perhaps in conjunction with Peninsular Malaysia), pending reintroduction to a suitable site at a later date.
Rhino products, almost entirely of imported origin, are still available in Thailand. Although rhinos are strictly protected in Thailand, there is currently insufficient legal capacity to control the importation of rhino products. The government of Thailand is strongly urged to take action on this.
