3. PROJECT RHINO A The Indian Rhino is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, with a severely limited population range. The rhino's most important habitats, the alluvial Terai- Duar savanna and riverine forests, are in decline due to human encroachment The Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary has the highest density of Indian rhinos,  Presentation title 3

4. GREATER ONE HORNED RHINO Presentation title 4 lives in riverine grasslands in northern India, southern Nepal. Gestation lasts about 15-16 months The greater one-horned rhino is a grazer.  Asia is home to three rhino species:  Greater one-horned ( Rhinoceros unicornis ), Javan, and Sumatran. The  five rhino range nations   (India, Bhutan, Nepal, Indonesia and Malaysia) have signed a declaration ‘The New Delhi Declaration on Asian Rhinos 2019’ for the conservation

5. THREATS TO RHINO POPULATION Degradation of habitat The habitat of Indian rhinos is deteriorating as a result of human activities and natural disasters such as floods, resulting in a large number of deaths. Poaching Because the Indian rhino's population range is limited, with 70% of the population concentrated in a single location - Kaziranga National Park - an unexpected event such as disease, natural disaster, or habitat loss will have a severe impact on the Indian rhino's status. Presentation title 5 Lack of habitat diversity Because rhino horns are a valuable ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine, they are under immediate threat from poachers. Between 2013 and 2018, almost 100 rhinos were poached in India.

6. INDIAN RHINO VISION 2020 Launched in 2005, an ambitious effort  to attain a wild population of at least 3,000 greater one-horned rhinos  spread over 7 protected areas  in the Indian Assam by 2020. Seven protected areas  are  Kaziranga , Pobitora , Orang National Park, Manas National Park, Laokhowa wildlife sanctuary, Burachapori wildlife sanctuary  and   Dibru Saikhowa wildlife sanctuary. Wild-to-wild translocations  were an essential part of IRV2020 – moving rhinos from densely populated parks like Kaziranga NP to Manas NP. It is  a collaborative effort  between various organisations , including the International Rhino Foundation, Assam’s Forest Department, Bodoland Territorial Council, World Wide Fund - India, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

7. SUCCESS OF PROJECT RHINO The recovery of the one-horned rhino is one of the greatest conservation success stories in Asia. The Indian  Rhino Vision 2020  came to a conclusion in April 2021 with translocation of two rhinos from Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, Assam to Manas National Park, Assam marking the eighth round of Rhino translocation under the Indian Rhino Vision 2020. Till 2022, there has been a 167% population increase. The  Asian Rhino Specialist Group ( AsRSG )  has announced that number of one-horned rhinos in India, Nepal, and Bhutan has increased to 4,014 individuals in 2022. Almost 65% of the rhino population is in Kaziranga with 2,613 individuals. Presentation title 7
