EXTINCTION THREAT ?

What a magnificent creature, the one horned rhinocerous. Recently quite a few of them have been killed by poachers at the Kaziranga National Park. Only for the horn? But what's so special about the horn? What is the use and who need it? This is a great concern for all of us. If poaching continues at this rate then very soon we are going to loose our proud possession. Poaching has been an age old problem for the rhinos here. But it seems that the authority is not very concerned. The time has come for us to think about this seriously. We the common people in this part of the world have the habit of blaming the government and the forest guards, but for how long ? We must learn to take some responsibility upon us. A collective effort is required to face this disaster. But in this case there is little scope for a common person to do something of note. The initiative has to be taken by the government. It will be interesting to see what really is done on this occasion. Hopefully somebody will come up with a concrete plan of action before its too late.
