Greater One-Horned Rhino Conservation in Nepal

ZSL has a long conservation history in Nepal, with projects including the setup of veterinary clinics in the community buffer zones of Chitwan National Park. Learn more about how ZSL contributes to the conservation of the One Horned Rhino in Nepal.
Community education and public awareness
No conservation project is successful without the support of people. NTNC community officers will be visiting villages in the national park buffer zones, to give interactive education to both the children and adults. Find out what this work hopes to achieve.
Threats to rhinos and their habitat
From poaching and the destruction of grassland, to human-wildlife conflict and invasive weeds - threats to the species and their habitat are vast. For more information on how these issues widely affect the One-Horned Rhinos, see here
Donations
The Zoological Society of London works on a number of projects throughout the year. As a charity, we welcome all donations, large or small. You can choose to donate to the ongoing work of ZSL as a whole organisation or choose a specific conservation project.
Rhino Translocation
Numbers in Chitwan National Park increased from its lowest number of 100 animals in the late 1960s to 544 in 2000. This has allowed the translocation of rhinos out of Chitwan to populate the other two National Parks between 1986 and 2003. Discover more about rhino translocation
