Rhino Bodyguards



Elephant-riding bodyguards for the Indian Rhinoceros population in Nepal seem to have been successful.  In the 1.5 years since the bodyguards were instituted, not a single rhino has been killed.  The bodyguard project has been funded by the Zoological Society of London.  18 months ago, the population numbered only 22 individuals; now, the rhinos have recovered from the intense poaching they faced before.
