6 Rhinos are being relocated to the new area within Chitwan National Park. Due to the increased number of the endangered One Horned Rhinos in western bank of National Park, officials have relocated those 6 rhinos to the eastern belt of Chitwan National Park.
The internal translocation of rhinos within Chitwan National Park in Nepal is a vital conservation effort aimed at ensuring the continued survival and genetic diversity of this iconic species. Chitwan National Park, located in the Terai region of Nepal, is home to a significant population of greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), also known as the Indian rhinoceros.
Translocation helps maintain healthy populations of rhinos by preventing inbreeding and promoting genetic diversity, which is crucial for the long-term survival of the species.
Rhinos are translocated to areas within Chitwan National Park where habitat conditions are suitable and where they can establish viable populations, contributing to ecosystem balance and biodiversity.
Overall, internal translocation plays a crucial role in the conservation and management of rhino populations within Chitwan National Park, ensuring the long-term viability of this iconic species while fostering harmony between wildlife conservation and local communities.
Chitwan National Park is famous among foreigners, as you can spot many endangered animals like Royal Bengal Tibet and One Horned Rhinos. Chitwan Jungle Safari gives an extreme opportunity to witness many other small and large mammals, birds and alligators.
