Javan Rhinos Appear Safe After Krakatau Eruption, but Their Habitat Remains at Risk
The latest checks are reassuring, but a species restricted to one coastal habitat remains vulnerable.

Understand the pressures facing rainforests and the approaches used to protect them. This pillar collects Fund The Planet articles on deforestation drivers, Indigenous leadership, protected landscapes, restoration and long-term conservation.
Effective rainforest conservation involves protecting intact forest, addressing the pressures that drive loss, and respecting the people connected to those landscapes. Rainforest conservation starts with keeping intact forests intact. A connected forest supports habitat, water, soil and the many relationships between living things that are difficult to rebuild once they are lost. Mature rainforest contains structures and interactions that do not appear overnight. Preventing forest loss is therefore different from simply replacing trees elsewhere.
Long-term rainforest protection also involves addressing the pressures that cause forest loss in the first place. Land conversion, extraction, weak safeguards and fragmented habitats all require different responses. It is not a single action or a one-time promise. Effective conservation brings together protection for forests, respect for people connected to them and practical systems that help keep threatened landscapes from being cleared.
