The Better India · she

Kaziranga National Park recorded zero rhino poaching in 2022, a historic achievement not seen in nearly 45 years. IFS officer Sandeep Kumar led efforts to strengthen anti-poaching operations using drones, surveillance, intelligence, and community participation. This success highlights effective conservation strategies against organised poaching networks. However, concerns remain about sustaining this protection amidst proposed changes to the park's Eco-Sensitive Zone.
