Indian Rhino Vision 2020
The Indian Rhino Vision 2020 (IRV 2020) is a conservation initiative aimed at increasing the population of Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) in the state of Assam, India. It is a collaborative effort between the Assam Forest Department, the Bodoland Territorial Council, and various other stakeholders. Let's evaluate the given statements to determine their accuracy.
Statement 1: Indian Rhino Vision 2020 is implemented by the Department of Environment and Forests, Assam with the Bodo Autonomous Council as an active partner.
This statement is correct. The Indian Rhino Vision 2020 is implemented by the Department of Environment and Forests, Assam in collaboration with the Bodo Autonomous Council. The objective of this partnership is to work together towards the conservation and protection of the Indian rhinoceros population in Assam.
Statement 2: The vision of this program is to increase the total rhino population in Assam from about 2000 to 3000 by the year 2020.
This statement is incorrect. The objective of the Indian Rhino Vision 2020 is not specifically to increase the total rhino population in Assam to 3000 by the year 2020. The primary goal of this program is to attain a population of at least 3000 Indian rhinoceros in the wild in specific protected areas of Assam, including Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park, and Orang National Park, by the year 2020. The program aims to achieve this by translocating rhinoceros from areas with a higher population to areas with a lower population, ensuring their long-term conservation and genetic diversity.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, only statement 2 is incorrect. The Indian Rhino Vision 2020 is implemented by the Department of Environment and Forests, Assam with the Bodo Autonomous Council as an active partner. However, the program aims to reach a population of at least 3000 Indian rhinoceros in specific protected areas of Assam, rather than increasing the total rhino population in Assam to 3000 by the year 2020.
