Bardiya’s rhinos may have migrated to India

The rhinos cross into India due to lack of water sources and proper habitats in Nepal, conservationists say. About 20 are thought to have moved.

Conservationists are worried about the possible migration of one-horned rhinos to Indian territory from Bardiya National Park (BNP), the largest national park in lowland Tarai covering an area of 968 square kilometres. It is suspected that around 20 rhinos entered the bordering Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary of India.
