TL;DR Summary

A critically endangered Sumatran rhino calf was born in Indonesia, marking the second birth of the species in the country this year. With fewer than 50 Sumatran rhinos remaining, this birth is a welcome addition to the population. The calf, fathered by a male named Harapan, was born at a sanctuary in Way Kambas National Park. The Sumatran rhino is threatened by habitat destruction and poaching, and most of the remaining population is in captivity. The birth highlights the Indonesian government's commitment to rhino conservation efforts.
