Background: Translocation has emerged as a pivotal conservation tool in modern times, aiding in the establishment of new populations of threatened species. The endeavor to reintroduce Greater One-Horned Rhinos in Manas National Park stands out as one of the most successful initiatives, showcasing the potential of such programs in restoring biodiversity.

Key Findings: My research delves into the intricacies of post-translocation animal behavior, shedding light on the adaptation, social dynamics, and ecological impact of the translocated rhinos. From exploring their interactions with the existing fauna to understanding their movement patterns and habitat preferences, the study provides valuable insights for future translocation projects worldwide.



Published in Pachyderm: I am proud to announce that my findings have been published in Pachyderm, a platform that enables the dissemination of knowledge in the field of wildlife conservation. I invite you to read the full article to gain a comprehensive understanding of the positive outcomes and challenges faced during the post-release monitoring of Greater One-Horned Rhinos.
