Abiotic factors: lots of year-round humidity (60-100%) and rainfall (3,250 mm), has an average temperature of 80*F, many water sources, plants block natural sunlight]]> 2023-05-03 15:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576900359 sofiayjshin https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576914346 Predator-prey relationship: Although the greatest threat to Javan Rhinos is the lack of genetic diversity, which threatens its breeding numbers, Javan Leopards can be a threat, as they sometimes prey on rhino calves and the weak. ]]> 2023-05-03 15:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576914346 sofiayjshin https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576918214 Competition with other animal species: Aside from Javan Leopards, Javan Rhinos don't compete or feud with other animal species. Their main threat are humans because of illegal poaching. ]]> 2023-05-03 15:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576918214 sofiayjshin https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576929522 Threats to the biome: Although Ujung Kulon National Park is managed by Indonesia's central government, there are still problems such as agricultural encroachment, tourism, and illegal logging and firewood collection, as well as illegal commercial fishing. 
Solution: To manage these problems, which are greatly threatening to the animal and plant species that reside in the biome, the government can give serious consequences to those who participate in these activities. This would definitely be an effective method to decrease the amount of harm being done, as it would make the activities not worth doing. ]]> 2023-05-03 15:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576929522 sofiayjshin https://padlet.com/sofiayjshin/j6nn8p161zhivsit/wish/2576939264 Works Cited
