Nepal Celebrates Second Year of Zero Rhino Poaching

Nepal Celebrates Second Year of Zero Rhino Poaching
One country has recorded another huge victory that helps ensure the survival of this iconic, endangered population.

It's no coincidence that Nepal is celebrating its own record-breaking rhinoceros population, while they've just achieved their second successful year of eliminating poaching within its borders.

As of May 2016, the country has gone two years in a row without any harm coming to the endangered species, tallying up to four years in total since 2011.

The conservation victory is credited to the effects of improved tracking technology of the creatures, rapid ranger response, and identifying poaching hot spots within national parks.
