"We’re still ‘Going Wild for Rhinos’ and today we’re celebrating a HUGE
milestone for the greater one-horned rhino – the species’ population now
numbers 4,014 individuals! The government of Assam, the province in India that
is home to 70% of the world’s greater one-horned rhino population, just
completed its biannual rhino census. (Nepal, the only other country with
greater one-horned rhinos, conducted its rhino census last year.) The greater
one-horned population has increased by 274 rhinos since the last count – helped
by a baby boom during the pandemic when many protected areas were closed to
visitors. For a species that was once perilously close to extinction, numbering
fewer than 100 individuals, this recovery is truly remarkable."
