Kissing the fabled Brahmaputra River in the north-eastern state of Assam, the Kaziranga National Park is home to world’s largest population of the scarce ‘one horned’ rhinoceros.
A century ago, these species were nearing extinction, mainly because of excessive poaching for the illegal horn trade. However as a result of strong animal conservation and anti-poaching programmes, the authorities have now been able to successfully increase their population, currently estimated at just over 2000.
