Conservation of one horned Rhino in India has been a great success. In 1905, the species was on the brink of extinction. Through strict protection this population has been recovered to over 1700 individuals today. But Now more than 93% of India's Rhino live in just one National Park - Kaziranga. The species is therefore exposed to risk such as disease outbreaks and poaching the could devastate an entire population. Human-wildlife conflict is another result of insufficient habitat. The Rhino in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, e.g., have outgrown the sanctuary and need more land to mitigate their increasing conflicts with local communities.
