Challenge
Though there is slow recovery in rhino population but…• Rescue/caring/treatment of orphanage/wounded wildlife• Effective monitoring & Validity/reliability in
census/count• Habitat management (reduction in waterhole and
proliferation of invasive species), Climate Change• Human Population Growth / Relief Mechanism• Poaching/Rehabilitation of poachers• Educating outsiders (Outside of Bufferzone)• Awareness level on conservationist/local people• Action/Management plan preparation & resource
arrangement
• Habitat (grassland /waterhole) management to reduce threats• Awareness Programme (Chepang/other outside Bufferzone)• Action Plan for next period should be made and implemented
properly with enough resources• Rescue/treatment/Care center• Target Young groups rather than old age• Valid / reliable data should be captured and conduct regular
effective monitoring i.e. census/count• Coordination with concerned parties to launch Youth Self
Employment to Bufferzone people• Law/rule/regulation enforcement through campaign at grass
root level
Suggestion
