One, two, three...four hundred and thirty five? That’s how many rhinos WWF and partners counted this year in Nepal’s Chitwan National Park, Bardia National Park and Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve.
The goals of the 2008 rhino count are to assess the current number of rhinos in the Terai Arc Landscape, determine how poaching has affected populations, and recommend strategies for long-term conservation and management of this critically endangered species.
From GPS units to elephant-mounted teams, learn how we combined high-tech and low-tech tools for the 2008 rhino count.
