The very first month of 2008 brought sad news for the wildlife lovers. The celebrated Kaziranga national park in Assam of Northeast India has witnessed the loss of three endangered one-horned rhino within January. All of them fell prey to the poachers to make the tally of 23 precious inmates in 13 months beginning from January 2007. The annual tally of rhino poaching in Kazirang during the bygone year was all time high in the last decade.
