In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.

Indonesia's tsunami has raised fears that another deadly wave could wipe out the few dozen Javan rhinos still living in the world. There are believed endangered species in Ujung Kulon National Park not far from the volcano that triggered the killer wave. None of the animals were killed in the disaster- dead - but officials are warning that another deadly wave could slam into the stricken region. That is putting pressure on conservationists at the longstandingĀ plan to find a suitable secondary habitat for the rhinos. Plans to find a second home for the species have been in the works for about surveying areas all over Java and neighbouring Sumatra but so far without success.

The shy creature, whose folds of loose skin give it the appearance of wearing armour plating, once numbered in the thousands and roamed across species across the world, poaching and human encroachment on its habitat has led to a dramatic population decline. The rhino horns are used at ever higher prices on the black market despite a lack of scientific evidence showing the horn has any medicinal value.
