The Indonesian government’s controversial decision to allow the resumption of lobster larvae exports now threatens another, far more endangered, species: the Javan rhino.

The last remaining habitat of the Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is Ujung Kulon National Park at the western tip of the island of Java. But the shores of the park have effectively been opened up to lobster fishers under a decision in May by the fisheries ministry to reverse a ban on exports of wild-caught lobster larvae.
