Forest and Environment Minister Ain Bahadur Shahi Thakuri has said that everyone should join hands in rhino conservation. Minister Thakuri said that Chitwan is the first choice of tourists coming from Chitwan to see rhinoceros.
Minister Thakuri said this while speaking at a program organized at the office of the National Nature Conservation Fund in Sauraha on Saturday. Taking information about the condition of the 4 rhinos that were rescued at the
office, he said that the participation of all sectors is necessary in conservation. Mentioning that the government has recently introduced a 10-year action plan for rhino conservation, Minister Thakuri emphasized community-based conservation.
'Not only by the efforts of the Ministry of Conservation alone, but we have sought the active role of the community as well,' Minister Thakuri said, 'Everyone's cooperation is necessary for conservation.' Kiran Rizal, a technician from the Chitwan office of the fund, informed that there are currently four rhinos, one female and 3 males, in the Sauraha office of the fund. According to him, the age of the 29-month-old female rhinoceros and the other 3 rhinoceros are 19 months and about one and a half years old. According to him, those rhinos were rescued at different times. Minister Thakuri, who is also the chairman of the

fund, there are 694 rhinos in Chitwan alone. Similarly, member secretary Subedi informed that there are 38 rhinos in Bardiya, 17 in Shuklaphanta and 3 in Parsa. Similarly, Minister Thakuri also visited Nepal's first wildlife hospital in Saurah sector complex of Chitwan National Park.
