Endangering the Endangered: The Poaching and Conservation Conundrum Facing the Greater Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros in Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India

Kaziranga National Park (KNP) hosts the world's largest population of the endangered greater Indian one-horned rhinoceros. Despite its critical role in global conservation efforts and as Assam's state symbol, this species faces persistent poaching threats. The study highlights significant gaps between policy formulation and implementation of anti-poaching measures within KNP, revealing challenges that hinder effective conservation. It examines current strategies against a backdrop of international wildlife protection frameworks and domestic policies, underscoring the need for strengthened ecological governance to safeguard this iconic species.
