Greater one-horned rhinoceros
Rhinoceros unicornis
Status: Endangered
Greater one-horned rhinoceros populations are increasing overall due to strict protection. However, some populations are decreasing, especially those in Nepal, which have suffered due to political instability in the country. The species is currently confined to fewer than ten sites, with a total extent of occurrence of less than 20,000 km². There is a continuing decline in the quality of habitat, projected to continue into the future, which, if not addressed, will affect the long-term survival of some of the smaller populations, and could jeopardize the further recovery of the species. Its populations are also severely fragmented.
