The real story behind Nepal’s wildlife conservation success
In the 1960s, Nepal’s one-horned rhino population had plummeted to less than 100, with poachers threatening it with extinction. Yet Nepal’s latest rhino census reveals something remarkable – the number of rhinos has grown to 752. The rise is attributed to one of the world’s toughest anti-poaching approaches, mixed with innovative community-based conservation efforts. And this success is not limited to the rhino – with the Himalayan nation close to tripling its tiger population in 2022. This 101 East documentary from Al Jazeera investigates one of the greatest conservation success stories in Asia and asks if it is sustainable.
