The Rhinos of Assam
As recently as 50 years ago, Assam was thinly populated, remote and still the land that Kipling wrote about. But since World War II industrialisation of forest products, tea, and oil, has brought an economy which could threaten the existence of its wildlife and, in particular, that of the Great One-horned Indian Rhino.
That the Indian Rhino is well and living in Kaziranga National Park today is a success story. But one with the constant shadow of encroachment upon its homeland. Narrated by DEREK JONES
