Sponsor Delilah the Sumatran Rhino
Sumatran rhinos are the smallest and hairiest of all rhino species. They live in the dense, tropical forests of Indonesia and are Asia’s only two-horned rhino.
Born on May 12, 2016, Delilah was the second rhino born at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary, a research and breeding facility managed by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Way Kambas National Park and local NGO Yayasan Badak Indonesia, and the second offspring to Ratu and Andalas. On November 25, 2023, Delilah made history again when she gave birth to a healthy male calf, named Indra, making her the youngest Sumatran rhino mom on record. Delilah is now the SRS's third breeding female and the first captive-born Sumatran rhino female to produce offspring.
The rhinos living at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts and as instruments for education for local communities and the general public. They also comprise an ‘insurance’ population that can be used to re-establish or revitalize wild populations, once threats have been eliminated in their natural habitat.
You can symbolically sponsor Delilah the Sumatran rhino either in your own name or as a gift for a relative or friend who supports wildlife conservation.
