The Legacy and Future of Rhino Conservation in Assam

The Greater One Horned Rhinoceros, or Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), represents pride and resilience for Assam in its conservation efforts. Assamese people and the majestic pachyderm have a profound connection, especially given Assam's remarkable success in saving the species from extinction over the past century. Throughout history, mankind has been fascinated by the rhinoceros' unusual body structure, formidable horn, and solitary appearance with odd toes.
