Bardiya sees ten rhinos killed in ten months
Seven one-horned rhinos of the ten that died inside Bardiya National Park (BNP) in the past 10 months were killed by poachers, raising serious concern over the very survival of these endangered species, reports Kantipur Daily. The remaining three rhinos had died due to natural causes, according to Fadindra Kharel, chief conservation officer of the BNP. Rampant poaching of rhinos inside the park is said to be the main cause behind the number of the endangered species going down so drastically.
