1 TERM OF REFERENCE Run Rhino Run Fun Nature Tracking 10K to raise public awareness for Javan rhino conservation Background With only about 50 individuals left in the wild, the Javan Rhino (lesser one-horned rhino or Rhinoceros sondaicus) is probably the rarest mammals on earth. Located in western tip of Java Island, Indonesia, Ujung Kulon National Park is the only place in the world where the remaining of Javan rhino survives, while other distinct sub-species of Javan rhino from Vietnam has been declared as extinct in This year WWF Indonesia reaches its 50 Years Anniversary, which falls in September Given that WWF started its work in Indonesia with Javan rhino research in Ujung Kulon in 1962, public awareness and outreach campaign on conservation of Javan rhino become a very strategic tools to highlight 50 years of WWF s important works in the area. RUN RHINO RUN a public awareness campaign Ujung Kulon National Park and its surrounding boast a beautiful forest and coastal areas on the western tip of Java. Aside of being the only habitat left for thejavan rhino, the area sustains the lives of communities in the buffer zone.

One of the ideas is to create a one of a kind running event across the buffer zone of Ujung Kulon National Park.
