Run-up to World Rhino Day 2023: Poaching, climate change & habitat loss threaten global population

Apart from poaching and habitat loss, climate change-induced droughts have been threatening the rhino population in Africa, pointed out a new report.

On the other hand, climate disruptions in Asia can lead to the deaths of rhinos. Increased precipitation, longer monsoons and seasonal floods are already resulting in stranding, drowning or separation of calves from their mothers among Greater One-horned Rhinos, noted the report State of the Rhino released by the International Rhino Foundation.
