Download or read book The Soul of the Rhino written by Hemanta Mishra and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ugly yet enchanting, terrifying yet delicate, the Indian Rhinoceros is a magnificent animal. It is also in danger of being killed off for good. The Soul of the Rhino is a spirited account of one man’s journey to protect the animal in the foothills of the Himalayas. Hemanta Mishra was fresh out of university when he embarked on his conservation work in the 1970s. Over the years, he got help from an ornery but steadfast elephant driver, the Nepalese royal family and like-minded scientists. He also did outstanding work--creating nature reserves, arm-wrestling politicians and raising awareness. But Mishra hasn’t won his battle to save the rhino. As he shows vividly, armed insurgence, political violence and poaching are driving this endangered species to complete extinction. Filled with candour and bittersweet humour, The Soul of the Rhino is the first book of its kind to delve into the labyrinths of South Asian wildlife conservation and one man’s endurance in the face of it all.

Download or read book Soul of the Rhino written by Hemanta Mishra and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spirited yet humble account of one man's scientific career and personal journey to save the endangered rhinoceros in his native Nepal In early 2006, National Public Radio reported that “A promising conservation effort to save one of Nepal's signature endangered species is now in serious trouble, due primarily to poachers taking advantage of fighting between government forces and Maoist insurgents.” This was devastating news indeed to author and scientist Hemanta Mishra, who has spent the better part of his adult life struggling to save the Indian Rhino from extinction in his native Nepal. The Soul of the Rhino is the spirited yet humble account of Mishra's unique personal journey. Fresh out of university in the 1970s, Mishra embarks on his conservation work with the help of an ornery but steadfast elephant driver, the Nepalese royal family, and handfuls of like-minded scientists whose aim is to protect the animal in the foothills of the Himalayas. Yet, in spite of decades spent creating nature reserves and moving rhinos to protected areas, arm-wrestling politicians, and raising awareness for the cause, Mishra is still fearful about the future of the Indian Rhino. To this day, Nepal is overrun by armed insurgents, political violence, and poachers who could kill off this magnificent creature for good. Filled with candor and bittersweet humor, Mishra re-creates his journey on behalf of the rhino, an ugly yet enchanting, terrifying yet delicate creature. The first book of its kind to delve into the multi-layered political labyrinths of South Asian wildlife conservation, and one man's endurance in the face of it all, The Soul of the Rhino is sure to win over your heart and soul. “A mix of Western science and Eastern mythology, [this book] could be called ‘Zen and the Art of Rhinoceros Maintenance'.” —New York Post “[Mishra's] a gutsy, committed man and a charming writer—and the rhinos could have no faster friend.”—National Geographic Adventure “Unusual, fascinating, and important. The Soul of the Rhino . . . provides not only a rare insight into the personality and behavior of the highly endangered and little-known Asian rhino, but an equally absorbing picture of the people who share its habitat.” —Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE; founder, the Jane Goodall Institute; UN Messenger of Peace “[Mishra] describes his contacts with everyone from poacher and foreigner to bureaucrat, royalty and rhino. I enjoyed The Soul of the Rhino immensely.” —George B. Schaller, Wildlife Conservation Society “This is the first book of its kind that proves that nature conservation in Asia does not only depend upon good Western science. But, like politics in America, it is an art.” —Lodi Gyari, Special Envoy of His Holiness the Dalai Lama “For anyone interested in wildlife, the Himalayan region, Hindu and Buddhist culture, this book is a delight.” —Kenneth Nebenzahl, director of the American Himalayan Foundation, member of the WWF-US Council
Download or read book Asian Rhinos written by Mohd. Khan bin Momin Khan and published by IUCN. This book was released on 1997 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are currently three species of Asian rhino: the Indian or greater one-horned Asian rhino, the Javan or lesser one-horned Asian rhino and the Sumatran or Asian two-horned rhino. Today, all three are threatened with extinction and two, the Sumatran rhino and Javan rhino, critically so. Although the Indian rhino is to be found in greater numbers than the other two, the threats to this species nevertheless remain significant. As in the case of the African rhinos, the threats to the Asian rhinos stem from poaching for the horn, the primary demand for which is in traditional Chinese medicine but which is also a speculator's commodity in several consumer nations. However, a further threat to these animals is also posed by the destruction of their habitat. Indeed, two of these species inhabit the tropical rainforest which is being destroyed. This action plan describes the major requirements for rhino conservation and describes some of the programmes which can and are being implemented to stem the threats to these species such as managed breeding and the "in situ" conservation of their habitats.
