Read the passage carefully and evaluate the statement given below: Due to the Tsunami in Indonesia, it is feared that its next deadly wave can prove dangerous for endangered Javan rhinos. It is believed that this endangered species of about 70 individuals in the Ujung Kulon National Park is highly vulnerable to a tsunami triggered by a volcanic eruption. Although no rhinos died in the recent calamity, more than 400 people were killed. Officials have warned that the next tsunami could completely destroy this area. This warning is pressurizing national park conservationists to find another habitat for the rhinos. Work has been ongoing for nearly eight years on the plan to find an alternative habitat, during which conservationists conducted many surveys on Java and adjacent Sumatra, but they have not been successful yet. Statement: It took eight years for the purpose of finding another place to be finally completed.
