Wildlife in distress: 96 animals including 8 precious one-horned rhinos are dead in Kaziranga flood

 Amid the floods in the Northeast states of India, the officials, and associates of the Kaziranga national park are struggling day and night to protect the animals in the park.

The director of the Kaziranga national park P.Sivakumar stated that they have recovered 132 wild animals from the natural disaster.

As Kaziranga Park being one of the greatest and most visited parks in the world, wildlife activists and other supporters are praying that the park and animals should be rehabilitated soon.

As the area is mountainous and due to the uneven land surfaces many avalanches have occurred.

The most miserable part of the disaster is that 96 wild animals have died because of the flood. The officials have also informed that eight precious one-horned rhinoceros are dead.

There is always an expectation that the landslides occur in North-Eastern India during the monsoon, but this time the park is almost sunk and only 15% of the land is above the water.

The flood has also killed almost 200 people whereas the animals in the red book such as the elephants, one-horned rhinoceros, and porcupines, are also dead.

The geological department had declared that the water running in the Brahmaputra will rise by 32cm by today.

The matter we all should worry the most is that the flood has occurred amid the pandemic whereas the central and state governments are striving to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The flood has made collateral damage in  Bangladesh and Nepal too.
