India/Bhutan cross border park
tiger study finds 14 tigers
October 2012. The results of the first combined tiger monitoring study
undertaken by Bhutan and India in the trans border Manas National Park
identified 14 individual tigers, five each in Manas Tiger Reserve in India and
Royal Manas National Park and four being common to both parks.
Rhino birth
One of the female rhinos translocated from the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary to
the Manas National Park has given birth to a calf. The rhino, romantically
designated as ‘Rhino 10' was translocated in January 2012. A total of 18 rhinos
- ten from Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary and eight from Kaziranga National Park
have been translocated so far to Manas National Park.
The birth indicates that the
translocated rhinos have adapted well to the new environment and are beginning
to thrive. This is the first offspring to be born to a translocated rhino in
Manas.
Under IRV 2020, Manas National
Park has been provided much support to upgrade its infrastructure and
monitoring capabilities to enable better protection for the translocated
rhinos.
