For short term protection, all known rhino areas should be monitored regularly to determine population trend especially recruitment rate. For long term protective measure, translocation from low or insecure habitat to sanctuaries whcih contain viable breeding population, suitbale habitat and good law enforcement. Serious consideration must be given to translocation of isolated rhino from Bukit Gebuk,. One possible reserve is Sg. Dusun, which has much potential for maintaining a viable population of Sumatran rhino. Another alternative is to breed them in captivity.
