Nepal: A new home for rhinos

Translocating rhinos is no easy endeavour. These pachyderms, which can weigh up to 2,400kg, are very nervous in temperament and can be quite aggressive.

In January, the Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation began preparations to translocate 30 rhinos from Chitwan National Park to Bardia National Park (25 rhinos) and Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve (five rhinos) through 2018, the first leg of which, the translocation of three rhinos from Chitwan to the Babai Valley in Bardiya, took place over the past week.
.. Bardiya has had to wait 13 years for rhinos to set foot in its national park again. It came as little surprise that locals were jubilant when the team arrived with the rhino in tow, and welcomed them enthusiastically. The team was received warmly and was feted by the locals, many of whom were holding placards saying Gainda Bachauana Saksham Chhau—We can protect the rhinos.

At 11:06:28 on March 2, the first rhino of this ambitious endeavour sprinted from the cages into its new home—the Babai Valley.

Indonesia: Govt to revise wildlife law as protected animals face extinction

After the deaths in rapid succession of Sumatran elephants and other protected animals over the past few years, the government and the House of Representatives have agreed to revise the natural resources conservation law to place heavier sanctions on hunters and traders.

Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar said on Monday that the government and the parliament were in the process of revising Law No. 5/1990 on natural resources and ecosystem conservation.

“The law is outdated,” she told reporters at her office. “Right now the revision is in progress, being drafted by us and House Commission IV [overseeing forestry, agriculture, plantations and fisheries] and we have started to promulgate [the revision].”

The government felt the urgency of the revision after seeing that most cases of animal trading and hunting resulted in prison time of less than one year for perpetrators, and fines of less than Rp 100 million (US$7,476), Siti said.
