A report by WWF-India has brought the need to investigate the feasibility of reintroducing rhinos in other areas like the D'Ering Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh, Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary and Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in Uttar Pradesh apart from the Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 25 February 2017.
Kaziranga has the maximum concentration of over 70% rhinos and any local catastrophe due to poaching, disease or some other factor could have a devastating effect.
Rhinos from Kaziranga and Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary have been reintroduced in Manas National Park and the Laokhowa-Burachapori Wildlife Sanctuary under the state forest department's Indian Rhino Vision (IRV) 2020 which hopes to increase the population in the state to 3,000 by 2020. In order to achieve this target, the population in Assam needs to increase by three per cent every year and, by 2015, it has already reached 2,626.
