According to a new report, Indonesia has approved to take part in the joint resolution, which is set for the conservation and breeding of rhinoceros in national parks in Java and Sumatra.
Indonesia along with five Asian countries has endorsed this program in order to save critically endangered species, the Asian rhino.
Rhinoceros are the endangered species, which are at the verge of extinction in Asia.
After attending the First Asian Rhino Range State Meeting in Bandar Lampung, the government from all the countries, which includes Bhutan, India, Malaysia, Nepal and Indonesia, decided to start this program, to protect the rhinos from extinction.
The government decided to pass an agreement to form a joint conservation area for the protection of three rhino species.
These species include the Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus), Sumatran rhinoceros and Indian rhinoceros. The Indian rhinoceros are also called as the greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis).
Widodo Ramono, director of Indonesia Rhinoceros Foundation (Yabi), was requested by the other four members in the meeting to stop sending Sumatran rhinos to other countries.
The Indonesian Forestry Ministry believes that Javan rhinoceros, is the only species of rhinoceros, which is considered at the greater risk of extinction.
Christy Williams, World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) Asian Rhino and Elephant Program manager, said: "There are far fewer rhinos remaining in Asia. As of March 2013, there were only 3,500 rhinos in Asia [compared to over 25,000 across Africa]".
