    Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Assam on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, covering 430 square kilometers. It was established in 1905 to protect the endangered one-horned rhinoceros after the wife of the Viceroy of India visited and saw no rhinos. The sanctuary is now home to over 1,000 rhinos and 700 elephants, along with many other species such as wild buffalo, deer, and bears. However, authorities have reported the deaths of 9 tigers in the past 3 months, which wildlife experts believe could be higher and may be due to poaching rather than the reasons provided by park officials.

    1. The history of Kaziranga as a protected area can be
    traced back to 1904, when Mary Victoria Curzon, the
    wife of the Viceroy of India, visited the area.

    area was renowned. She persuaded her husband to
    take urgent measures to protect the dwindling species.

    Animal kingdom:
    1.Animal kingdom of the Sanctuary or the fauna is very rare.
    2.The varied vegetation here, creates the ideal habitat for a number of wild
    animals and birds and specifically the one-horned rhino.

    for the Indian one-horned rhinoceros. There are over 1000 rhinos in this

    Task of Kaziranga
    1.If the disappearance of tigers from Sariska National Park was
    shocking, this news is absolutely chilling.
    2. Authorities at Kaziranga National Park have admitted to the
    deaths of nine big cats in the past 3 months.
    3.The biggest casualty ever in a national park over such a brief
    period.
    4. Wildlife experts fear the numbers are much higher and
    suspect forest officers at Kaziranga are deliberately quoting a
    lower figure to avert a full-blown investigation.
    5.Speaking to TOI, Kaziranga National Park director S N
    Buragohain claimed the reason behind the deaths ranged
    from poisoning by villagers to infighting among tigers and old
    age.
    Experts, however, rubbished the argument and said several
    deaths had occurred due to poaching at the
    park.
