Ujungkulon National Park

What Ujungkulon National Park does

Ujung Kulon National Park (Taman Nasional Ujungkulon, TNUK) is a government-protected conservation area covering approximately 105,694 hectares at the western tip of Java in Pandeglang, Banten Province, Indonesia. Established formally in 1992 and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991, it is managed by the Balai Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon under the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, with Ardi Andono as current head. The park is the last natural habitat of the critically endangered Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus), hosting an estimated 50-80 individuals, and supports over 270 bird species, endemic primates including the Javan gibbon, plus diverse marine ecosystems across Peucang, Handeuleum, and Panaitan Islands.

The park's core operational technology is a network of camera trap and video trap monitoring systems deployed approximately every 2 kilometers, used for individual rhino identification via morphological features and broader wildlife surveillance. Anti-poaching operations have been augmented by aerial drones with thermal imaging. Conservation science is delivered in partnership with WWF Indonesia and IPB University, including forensic investigation of deceased specimens. A purpose-built Javan Rhino Study and Conservation Area (JRSCA) is under development for captive breeding, haplotype selection, and reproductive engineering, and in 2025 the park conducted its first-ever Javan Rhino translocation.

Commercially, the park itself is non-commercial; tourism is operated through the associated Ujung Kulon EcoTour brand, which sells direct-to-consumer packages via the ujungkulon.net website and WhatsApp. The flagship product is the 10-day Javan Rhino Observation Tour at US$5,000 per person, with a broader portfolio of 1-4 day birding tours, Javan Gibbon watching, private island trips, and Gunung Honje trekking. Standard tours are quote-based, with payment via bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, or cash. Revenue mechanics combine park entry fees, tour packages, and accommodation services such as Batik Villa (Nikki Peucang Resort).
