Indian Rhino |

Although the rhinos in India are completely protected, they are constantly under great pressure from a rapidly increasing population. It is encouraging to learn from a report by Mr. Richard Willan, Katmandu, Nepal, with regard to a rhino sanctuary there, that all the villages in the area were moved out, involving a resettlement of some 4000 people so the whole place is free of settlement. There have been no reports of poaching, and rhinos have been seen in some numbers there recently.
