It is now restricted to few scattered pockets, but the most successful conservation has been at Kaziranga National Park.
More than two thousand rhinos now survive in the park hence it has become very popular.

The biodiversity profile is unique with flora represented by tall grass, marshland, tropical moist broad leaf forests and tropical moist semi evergreen.
