Nepal - woman killed by rampaging rhino

Well, I learnt something today; I didn't even know that there are wild rhinos in Nepal.

The greater one-horned rhino is one of the two greatest success stories in rhino conservation (the other one being the southern white rhino in South Africa). With strict protection from Indian and Nepalese wildlife authorities, greater one-horned rhino numbers have recovered from fewer than 200 earlier in the 20th century to as many as 3,333 today. However, even with population increases, poaching pressure has remained high in both India and Nepal. The species’ recovery is precarious without increased and accelerated support for conservation efforts throughout its range.
Current Greater One-horned Rhino Numbers and Distribution
There currently are approximately 3,333 greater one-horned rhinos surviving (IUCN Asian Rhino Specialist Group, 2013).

I saw one and her calf with my own eyes while trying to spot the elusive tiger
Re: Nepal - woman killed by rampaging rhino
God bless the Nepalese for conserving their wildlife. I hope a whole, profitable tourism industry springs up around those rhinos and the locals can profit from their conservation efforts for centuries to come. I pray that conflicts between people and rhinos remain very rare occurrences.
