It remains to be seen whether the Rhino will survive against the necessary and imaginary needs of man. The sanctuary situated in the middle of cultivated and arable land, with private holdings abutting into it cannot be said to be in a safe position. A recent proposal to build a diagonal bund through it to safeguard a highway, will, if carried through, prove disastrous, as one section of the Sanctuary will dry up and the other be flooded. It is unfortunate that certain portions of the body of the Rhinoceros are imagined to give a filip to one, of the basic urges of human, nature. This makes the Rhino a much desired target of the mercenary poacher.
