India’s Rhino Stronghold Sees 86% Drop in Poaching and Five-Fold Increase in Rhinos

I visited the ones in Nepal which borders India in 1986 at Chitwan National Park on the Terai of Nepal. Most people don't even realize that a part of Nepal is both flat and has this amazing park in it closer to India. We had to run from a rhino likely male who was chasing us. I had to push my wife then up into a tree so she wouldn't be killed and barely made it up into another tree as the Rhino slammed his horn into the trunk of the tree I was in. Luckily, he couldn't knock the tree down because it was too big but I had to hold on for dear life as these guys weigh about the same as a car.
