Today, Purabi was translocated from Kaziranga to Manas. Wait, who is Purabi, eh? Well, she is a female rhino calf who was separated from its mother during the flooding of the river flowing through Kaziranga National Park. Se was then rescued by the Assam Forest Department and local people near Haldibari area and admitted to the CWRC .Since then, CWRC located near Kaziranga National Park of Assam has been taking care of her.CWRC stands for Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation was established in 2002 in a joint initiative of Assam Forest Department and WTI-IFAW partnership. Now IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) is the international partner of WTI( Wildlife Trust of India)
Anyhow, now Purbi will provide a good company to another orphan Dwimalu, a male calf who was very young when rescued.Since April, Forest Department authorities is taking caer of him and they are also assisted by IFAW-WTI in Manas. His mother was one of the wild rhinos translocated under the Indian Rhino Vision 2020 by Government of India. But sadly, she was killed by poachers earlier this year.But now, Dwimalu won't be alone anymore. The two Rhino calfs will be hand-reared together to avoid stress level amongst them and then they will be released into wild.
