I removed the following recently added long and unsourced section from the text. Proper references should be provided before any of it is reinserted. See WP:NOR and WP:RS
It would be maybe correct to notice, that the regions in which the Javan Rhinoceros was used to live, have been subject not only to hunt for their horns and blood, at least in the regions stretching from Laos, down through Vietnam. Indeed, it is hardly possible, that the illegal hunters have brought the species on the verge of extinction (despite the expansion of the market of rhinos' horns and blood, following to the enrichment of a small part of the society in the Asian South-East, collaborating with the Colonial power - these people are always curiously attracted by implausible qualities of exotic and rare substances) if we mind to remember that the whole region has been ruthlessly subjected to a bloody and terrorist series of wars, beginning right after World War II and ending in the late '70s - in its operations as open warfare covered by media. We must not forget the millions of tons of poisonous chemical substances, explosives, napalm which the American army had dropped in the whole region - from Laos to Vietnam, and up to Cambodia - from early '60s to late '70s.
How many rhinoceros had died, in that war?
We are usually keen to forget, even about the human victims - let alone the animals' ones - that we just notice that the same jungles and plains inhabited by Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian people, were also inhabited by innumerable animals, as the people killed in terrible deaths of fire or pain, or slow agonies by poisoning and starvation amidst deserted lands. It is most likely that the endangered conditions of Rhinoceros sondaicus are due, not only to merchants of horns' dust, which is a phenomena which could account not, for it, since, of course, it is traditional medicine and thus it is going on since long time, and never had brought the rhinos near to extinction, but, mainly to the effects on the environment and to the killings caused by the Imperialist War of the United States dubbed usually Vietnam War. The fault of the near extinction of Javan Rhinoceros is to blame on the West, and on the Western people which left the war unleash its unerring violence. -- Merbabu 00:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Why does the chart on the right indicate this species as of least concern when the first sentence states that it is extemely rare and in danger.
I have removed the photograph because it is showing an Indian Rhinoceros in its typical habitat. -- Melly42 20:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I looked these sources up this evening and am leaving them here for now as I figure out which to integrate into the article. -- JayHenry 05:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm proposing to merge the subspecies articles for Indian Javan Rhinoceros, Vietnamese Javan Rhinoceros and Indonesian Javan Rhinoceros into this article. The subspecies really only differ in terms of conservation history; virtually everything known about the species comes from the Indonesian subspecies. We can deal comprehensively with all subspecies in this article whereas to write a comprehensive article at the subspecies level would consist almost entirely of redundant content. To be clear, I am proposing to delete absolutely no information, merely to merge everything into one place so that it is better organized, better sourced (few sources deal with the subspecies individually), and better contextualized. -- JayHenry 05:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Can we change the first photo to one that doesn't seem to glorify the killing of these animals? Given their status and the terrible over hunting that occurs, I agree that the photo should stay, but let's put a more appropriate endearing photo first. Whoever put that there had their head in the clouds. -- Bentonia School ( talk) 03:34, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Someone get me a plane to Java and I will take it. Seriously though, could anyone contribut a photo?
Are there no captive specimens of this sub-species? FunkMonk ( talk) 08:35, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I think I mean 'Indermis'... Anyway, in the section about the subspecies, it states that the Indian subspecies gets its scientific name 'indermis' because males have small horns, and females have NO horns. Yet, later on below, there is a drawing labeled as a female 'indermis,' and there's clearly a horn on it's nose. So it seems clear to me that it's NOT a pic of 'indermis,' or its at least inaccurate. Of course, I'm no expert, but, still... 147.226.222.102 ( talk) 23:10, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Should we add that there is absolutely no hope for this species survival? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.128.11 ( talk) 02:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Source? Pure and simple logic. The species is already reduced to 40 individuals, and aren't they in a genetic bottleneck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.128.11 ( talk) 06:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Proof? >_> — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.128.11 ( talk) 06:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
What did those examples have in common? They were all captured and put in zoos/parks! There are no Javan rhinos in captivity, and they don't breed in captivity. Face it, this rhino is doomed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.128.11 ( talk) 21:03, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
The shot rhino (the one with a hunter) seems to be incorrectly identified. Considering the shape of its head, its hoofs and its size, it is most likely a Sumatran Rhinoceros. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.37.205.231 ( talk) 20:52, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
This article is being linked from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_animals_of_Asia
Is this animal really extinct or Critically endangered? Need to edit either of the pages on basis of the facts. Is it a sub species? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohitkr05 ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
The article at the moment generally calls this species the "Sunda rhino" as a result of this edit (the sole contribution of the user) back in December 2013, undiscussed as far as I can tell. Given the overwhelming prevalence of "Javan rhino", not to mention the article's title, surely this should be reversed. Frickeg ( talk) 05:19, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Is it really a good idea to all but give directions to would be poachers?! All of the rare rhinoceros pages list their locations. It just seems like you should want to make it at least a little bit of a challenge for a poacher to find them! 206.174.95.69 ( talk) 08:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
