Conservation Management

This famous Kaziranga National Park Assam has been granted maximum protection under Indian law for wildlife conservation and it has a good conservation history because of effective management policies. Various laws have been enacted for the protection of wildlife in the park including the Assam Forest Regulation of 1891 and the Biodiversity Conservation Act of 2002.

Poaching activities, especially poaching Rhinoceros for their horn has been a major concern for the forest authorities. The poachers between 1980 and 2005 hunted 567 rhinos. Then because of conservation, there was a decline and 18 Indian rhinoceroses were killed by poachers in 2007. After that, preventive measures such as the construction of anti-poaching camps and maintenance of existing ones, patrolling, intelligence gathering, and control over the use of firearms around the park have reduced the number of Rhino poaching. Cameras and drones have also been used by Kaziranga National Park Assam since 2013 to protect the rhino from armed poachers. The camera and drones are being monitored by security guards 24 x 7.

Perennial flooding and heavy rains have also been a concern to the authorities of Kaziranga National Park. Because of these a number of wild animals died and it also damaged the the conservation infrastructures. Because of water-logged areas, many animals go towards the elevated regions outside the park boundaries where they are susceptible to hunting, hit by speeding vehicles, or subject to reprisals by villagers for damaging their crops. To reduce the losses, the authorities have increased patrols, purchased additional speedboats for patrol, and created artificial highlands for the shelter of animals. They have also made some corridors for the safe passage of animals across National Highway–37 which skirts around the southern boundary of the park.

Water pollution was also one of the major concerns of Kaziranga National Park due to run-off from pesticides from tea gardens, and run-off from a petroleum refinery at Numaligarh. The park authorities have carried out research on siltation and then took part in de-siltation activities inside the park. To control the growth and irradiation of invasive species like Mimosa research on biological methods of controlling the weeds, manual uprooting, and weeding before seed settling are done often in this park.
