As a first strike at preventing poachers from gaining a foothold in the Park, AsRSG establishes and operates 3 RPUs to patrol the park, destroy traps and snares, arrest intruders and conduct community outreach and intelligence operations to identify poachers in the local area. Breeding programs are a challenging yet important component of conservation. The program in Way Kambas will provide an alternative to troubled captive breeding programs by enabling rhinos to breed under managed yet natural conditions. The Irf and park managers have created large enclosures within rain forest habitat connected by a corridor that allows controlled breeding with encouraging results. The project will return captive rhinos to their natural habitat in the hope that they may have a higher chance of survival and reproduction.
