Operation Rhino

Operation Rhino was a major effort in India launched in 2015 to combat poaching and protect the critically endangered Indian rhinoceros, primarily in Assam’s national parks. The operation involved coordinated efforts like increased patrolling, surveillance, community engagement, and stricter law enforcement to prevent illegal poaching and habitat destruction. It aimed to boost rhino populations and ensure their long-term survival by dismantling poaching networks and raising awareness about the importance of conservation. Overall, it was a strategic, multifaceted effort to safeguard one of the world’s rarest and most threatened species.
