This magnificent park is home to approximately 100 wild tigers (making it one of their last long-term strongholds), wild elephants and approximately 3/4 of the world's last surviving Indian one-horned rhinos, which all need greater protection if they are to survive. DSWF is the sole funder of the vitally needed state of the art communications network, providing mobile handsets and base stations for all forest officers monitoring this important wildlife refuge. Not only has this programme increased morale amongst forest staff, but it has directly resulted in halving rhino deaths from poaching and natural disasters such as the annual flooding.

DSWF also continues to fund equipment and anti-poaching in other rhino sanctuaries including Orang and Pabitora. This includes wildlife crime networking, secret investigations into poaching and smuggling of endangered wildlife in Assam to neighbouring consumer markets, particularly China.

Reasons for DSWF support:

To stop the illegal trade in wildlife across Assam's borders. Save the world's last surviving stronghold of Indian one-horned rhinos and one of India's last tiger populations by creating an important long-term sustainable refuge for critically endangered wildlife species.

DSWF funds:

Grants are spent on equipment to provide the new state of the art radio network for Kaziranga, and funding anti-poaching operations and illegal trade investigations throughout Assam and across its borders.

DSWF is just about to embark on the funding of a vital tiger monitoring and protection project in the region. Click here for more details
