1. Rhino population lives 7% outside the park boundaries. Old rhinos tend to wander out of the park to eat rice. Wild animals destroy 13.2 % of the crop each year. No compensation is paid.
2. Rhinos are dangerous to people. In 1993 one person was killed outside the park, 5 illegal grass cutters were injured in the park and also 1 park staff.
3. The soldiers treat the villagers badly. The villagers feel deprived of their former rights to firewood and fodder.
