After a substantial increase in the number of tigers in Bihar, the state government has now decided to set up a 'Rhino Task Force' to suggest measures to reintroduce terrestrial mammals to the Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) in West Champaran district.
At present there is only one rhino in VTR and 14 rhinos in Patna Zoo.
The number of one-horned rhinoceros in Bihar has increased by 3 per cent annually.
"After the resumption of the rhino conservation scheme, there will be a significant increase in the number of rhinos in the VTR.
The VTR has been selected as one of the potential sites under the National Rhino Conservation Strategy, where rhinos can be brought from other reserves in the country.
