Personnel from a WWF project in Bhutan's Manas Park (where no rhinos are resident) have noticed that rhinos crossing over at night into Bhutan for grasses and minerals (and returning to the Indian side in the morning) have declined in number sharply from early 1992 to late 1993 (pers. comm.). No rhino carcasses have been found in Bhutan, however, although Indians do come across to poach deer and take timber illegally.
