Rhino Conservation Action Plan

The Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros Conservation Action Plan for Nepal (2006-2011) was released by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Mr. Shubash Nembang, during the Parliamentary Conservation Committee meeting held in Kathmandu on 7 January 2007.

The action plan gives further shape to short- and long-term strategies for rhino conservation. The nine objectives focus on research, habitat expansion, translocation, improved human-rhino conflict, strengthening anti-poaching, building infrastructural capacity, limiting ex-situ conservation, increasing collaboration on all levels, and ensuring sustainable funding to implement the plan.
