Way Kambas consists of swamp forest and lowland rain forest, but was extensively logged
before becoming a reserve in 1972 so there is little primary forest. The reserve still has a few
Sumatran Tigers and reasonable numbers of elephants. It is also provides excellent
birdwatching, with the rare White-winged Duck among the species present.
Another special feature of this national park is the Sumatran Rhinoceros still present in the
area. Only 275 remain in South East Asia today. In Way Kambas a managed breeding center
or Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS) has been build up in 1995. At this moment 5 Sumatran
Rhinos live at the Sanctuary, most have been translocated from zoos to the large enclosures
(with natural habitat) at the SRS.
