VOICED : Rare Indian rhinos face growing threat from poachers

The video discusses the critical threat to rhinos due to poaching, driven by demand for their horns in China and Vietnam. With only about 3,500 rhinos left in the wild, primarily in India and Nepal, poaching remains a severe issue. Rangers are authorized to shoot poachers on sight, leading to violent encounters. The problem gained global attention when a rhino was killed during a visit by Prince William and Kate. Efforts to combat poaching include improving local living standards to reduce collaboration with poachers. Despite community support for conservation efforts, tensions persist, especially after a ranger was arrested for murder. Conservationists continue to work tirelessly to ensure the survival of rhinos for future generations.
