Yayasan Mitra Rhino
Enam puluh juta tahun yang lalu diperkirakan terdapat 30 jenis badak yang hidup di bumi. Tetapi saat ini hanya 5 jenis badak yang masih tersisa hidup di dunia, 3 jenis di Asia dan 2 jenis di Afrika. Dari 3 jenis badak yang hidup di Asia, 2 jenis diantaranya hidup di Indonesia. Kedua jenis badak yang terancam punah tersebut yaitu badak Jawa (Rhinoceros sondaicus Desmarest 1822) dan badak Sumatera (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis Fischer 1814) dikenal sebagai "jenis kunci" dalam konservasi keanekaragaman hayati. Perlindungan bagi kedua jenis badak ini akan sangat membantu upaya perlindungan hidupan liar lainnya, dan berbagai tipe habitat dari daerah pamah hingga pegunungan di Jawa, Sumatra dan Kalimantan. Badak Jawa di Indonesia khususnya, merupakan satu-satunya populasi yang masih ada dan diharapkan dapat dipertahankan kelangsungan hidupnya - merupakan jenis "flag ship" (lambang kebanggaan) Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon.
