Greater One-horned Rhino Adoption

PROTECT WHAT YOU LOVE. ADOPT A GREATER ONE-HORNED RHINO.

The greater one-horned rhino once numbered fewer than 100 individuals, but thanks to strict protection by government authorities in India and Nepal, the population has rebounded to more than 4,000 today. Launched in 2005, the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) and our partners worked together through a conservation program known as Indian Rhino Vision 2020 to establish a new rhino population in Manas National Park in the Indian state of Assam.

Rhinos were translocated from other national parks in Assam to establish the new population. The most recent translocation took place in April 2021 when Yaatree, a male greater one-horned rhino whose name means “traveler” in Hindi, made the journey from Pobitora National Park to his new home in Manas. He joined a population that now numbers more than 40 individuals.

You can adopt a greater one-horned rhino – like Yaatree – either in your own name or as a gift for a relative or friend who supports wildlife. Your tax-deductible donation will support IRF’s important conservation work in India and Nepal.
