Expeditions in Conservation: Rhinos of the Terai Arc
Tucked  away in shadows of the Himalayas is a remote region that's home to a real-life Jungle Book. The Terai Arc is a corridor of biodiversity teeming with Asian elephants, swamp deer, and river dolphins galore. A crew of WWF scientists is in Nepal on a two-week mission with modern-day dinosaurs, 10 greater one-horned rhinos, in an ambitious restoration effort. They're relocating the rhinos from Nepal's Royal Chitwan National Park to a protected area nearly 125 miles away. Along the perilous journey, they're sending daily dispatches, introducing you to the sights and sounds of the land, and mapping out a vision for the region's future. The bigger goal is to restore and reconnect 11 national parks from Nepal to India to create a continuous, protected landscape where all living things can flourish. (in Animals, Insects, and Pets) |
