“Since the last Census, around 359 rhinos died in Kaziranga tiol Park due to tural causes and poaching. If we take this into account and add to this year’s count of 2,413, the total number would be 2,772. In the 2015 census rhino population was 2,401. So I feel the growth is encouraging,” Brahma told the media, and added: “As many as 747 rhinos died in the past seven years – 139 were killed by poachers, 65 by tigers, 106 by floods and 387 faced tural death. At present KNP, Pabitora, Orang and Mas together have 2,650 rhinos.”
