Baluran National Park is located in Situbondo Regency, East Java, Indonesia.

[2] Baluran National Park is situated at the north-eastern extremity of Java, close to the islands of Bali and Madura.

[3] Baluran National Park hosts 26 mammal species, including the endangered Banteng, Sumatran dhole, Indian muntjac, Java mouse-deer, Sunda leopard cat, Javan leopard and Javan lutung.

[3] Poaching poses a major threat to the wildlife in the park, especially to the decreasing banteng population.

[10] The thorny acacia, which occupied at least 6,000 hectares of savannah at the Baluran National Park, has made it increasingly difficult for bantengs to find food.
