Greater One-Horned Rhino Numbers Rise as Habitat Challenges Emerge in Assam
The global population of the greater one-horned rhinoceros has risen to approximately 4,075, with Assam hosting about 80% of these animals, including over 2,600 in Kaziranga National Park. Both India and Nepal reported zero rhino poaching in 2025, marking significant conservation progress. Efforts now focus on habitat protection, as invasive plants and habitat degradation pose emerging challenges. Translocation and rewilding initiatives, particularly in Manas National Park, have supported population growth and breeding success.
