Rhinoceros in Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National Park, renowned for its great one-horned rhinoceros population, faces intense political and conservation debates that threaten the coexistence of agrarian communities with its ecological landscape. The study reveals how governmental institutions and public rhetoric increasingly alienate local communities, while legal prescriptions aim to eliminate human influences from the park. This approach overlooks the region's complex ecological, historical, and political realities, setting a problematic tone for governance. By analyzing the historical evolution of Kaziranga National Park, the research highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding that balances conservation goals with the rights and livelihoods of agrarian communities.
