The purpose of this project is to translocate rhinos from Chitwan National Park to Bardia National Park to strengthen the rhino population in Bardia and reduce the density of rhinos in Chitwan. This will be done by translocating at least two rhinos from Chitwan to the Babai Valley of Bardia in early 2015 and establishing a post-translocation monitoring program to protect the translocated rhinos in the Babai Valley and monitor the success of the translocation. Specifically, this will be done by: 1. holding stakeholder consultation meetings with advisory and technical committees; 2. conducting pre-translocation studies in Chitwan and Bardia; 3. identifying the rhinos that will be translocated and identifying the locations for their release in Bardia; 3. making pre-capture logistical arrangements; 4.capturing and transporting two rhinos from Chitwan to Bardia; 5. monitoring the translocated rhino population in Bardia; 6. maintaining a database to ensure the translocated rhinos are adapting to the new habitat; and 7. supporting the use of SMART for effective patrolling and anti-poaching operations in Bardia.
