In an attempt to curb
illegal trade and poaching of rhino body parts, the Assam Government has asked
the Central Government to hand over the cases of poaching to CBI. Recent case
of rhino poaching in Kaziranga National Park alarmed WWF-India who then urged
the State Government to put in place a stronger intelligence network than
before. WWF-India advocated the need of scientific protocols like SMART
patrolling and other modern management techniques in the Protected Areas.
Meanwhile one more mature female rhino had been killed by a group of five
poachers at an area near Sundori forest camp of Burapahar (Ghorakhati) Range of
Kaziranga National Park.
