Rhino numbers have increased from about 20 at the beginning of this century to 1700 animals in 2000. This success has been achieved through the dedicated efforts of the governments of Assam and India, supported by the local people. Vigne and Martin (1998), in updating information on the state of the rhino in Assam in 1997, put the number at 1406.
