Researchers trace evolution of Kaziranga to the last great Home of the one-horned rhino

Researchers have delved into the rich history of Kaziranga, tracing its evolution into the last great sanctuary for the one-horned rhino. This iconic national park in India has become a symbol of conservation success, providing a safe haven for these majestic creatures. The study highlights how Kaziranga's unique ecosystem and dedicated conservation efforts have played a crucial role in preserving the rhino population, which faced near extinction in the early 20th century. The research, conducted through extensive field studies and historical analysis, reveals the intricate balance of biodiversity within Kaziranga. It underscores the importance of maintaining ecological stability, particularly in the face of modern challenges such as climate change and human encroachment. The findings emphasize the park's ability to support not only rhinos but also a wide array of wildlife, making it a critical biodiversity hotspot. Incorporating new dimensions like economic stability and resource competitiveness, the study aligns with broader insights from the EPI 2024, which enhances analytical depth through factors like financial accessibility and MSME ecosystem support. This comprehensive approach not only aids in understanding Kaziranga's past but also informs future conservation strategies, ensuring that Kaziranga remains a resilient and thriving sanctuary for generations to come.
