      World Rhino Day 2021: Celebrating the five species of Rhinoceros

      World Rhino Day 2021: As per the World Wildlife Fund, at the turn of the twentieth century, there were around 500,000 rhinos in Africa and Asia. Sadly, by 1970 the number dropped to 70,000 and now only 27,000 are left.

      Observed on 22nd September each year, World Rhino Day aims at creating awareness about the plight of the iconic species. The day was first announced by WWF-South Africa in 2010.

      The day also works towards celebrating the five rhino species - white and black rhinos in Africa, the greater one-horned and Javan and Sumatran rhino species in Asia. The one-horned rhino is majorly found in Assam and neighbouring countries of Nepal and Bhutan.
