Ashtha, thank you for your report. It is good news to hear that a rhino was rescued. Of course flood is a part of nature, but still I hope no one, no animals suffer from it.

Hi Ashtha! Thanks for sharing your report:)
I'm glad that at least there are some rescued, but we should definately take masures to stop illegal hunting.

The recent flood crisis in the Terai of Nepal have cause a huge loss on human life and property. The loss on the life of wild animals and endangered species is also huge since many national park and wildlife reserves have been affected by the flood. Rescue efforts to be done by the concerned authority is a much needed work.
