Despite the efforts being made to improve the conservation of the greater one horned rhino, government agencies have failed to realize it and poaching of the threatened species has been continuing in the 430 sq. km large (Talukdar, 2000). Kaziranga National Park (KNP) in Assam, India. Recent data on the status of poaching in KNP reveals several alarming trends. As per the latest figures this year a total of 41 adult rhinos were killed by poachers. A thorough research should be carried out in the state in areas where the poachers have some influence in order to find out the extent of poverty and unemployment of the people living in those areas. The impact of the government's poverty alleviation and employment generation schemes should and the extentof skill mapping also be examined. Park officials had disclosed in the media that a manhunt for the poachers was still on in KNP. Officials said that poachers might have holed up in villages adjoining the park and intelligence gathering has been steppedup. Recently the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been investigating the killings of rhinos in the National Park. This is a welcome step taken by the Centre given the alarming rise in the number of killings of rhinos by poachers. Kaziranga is anideal rhino habitat as two-thirds of the area of the Park is nutrient-rich grassland and it therefore holds more rhinos than any other park or sanctuary in Asia (Vigne and Martin, 1994). Given the population count of rhinos here, it also attracts poachers who cater to the huge market for rhino horns. In this year itself, till date, around 41 rhinos have been killed, some even having their horns sawed off while still alive. Dozens of others have died in floods. These killings have sparked off widespread protests by conservation groups as well as the general masses.
