One-Horned Rhino in Kaziranga National Park
The massive Kaziranga National Park located on the banks of the River Brahmaputra is one of the only preserves for protecting the famous one-horned Indian Rhino. There was a time when the one-horned Rhino population at Kaziranga was about 200 but today thanks to the extensive wildlife conservation program of the government of India there are about 1500 on-horned rhinos at the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India.

The rare on-horned rhino or the Rhinoceros unicornis was almost driven to extinction during the 19th century and it was by a concerted effort by the government of India and the Assam state government that the conservation program for saving the one-horned rhino from extinction was a great success. In fact two thirds of the world's one-horn rhinos live at the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India.
Besides the dense forests thickets the large expanses of open water meadows serve as the perfect habitat for the one-horned rhino at the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India.
The greatest threats to the rhinos is the loss of habitat due to the influx of immigrant farmers, pollution risks from the oil refineries located close by and land grabbing by tea planters.
