VOICED : El gran rinoceronte indio amenazado

The video discusses the endangered status of the one-horned rhinoceros in Assam, India, and Nepal, with only 3,500 left in the wild. The demand for rhino horns in China and Vietnam fuels illegal poaching, leading to the death of at least 12 rhinos this year.
