Two more rhinos being translocated to Manas Park [1]

Bolstered by the success of translocating the first batch of one-horned rhinos to Manas National Park under the Indian Rhino Vision Plan 2020, the Assam Forest Department is now preparing for sending two more rhinos to the park. While the first two rhinos released on April 12 were males from Pobitora Sanctuary, the next rhinos selected for translocation would be two females, also from Pobitora.
