the non-protected status of the area pose an additional, ugly challenge to the species: poaching.\u00a0 Of the three to four Rhinos that had made Rautahat their major habitat, one was shot by poachers in September 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A survey conducted in the area among protected area managers, experts, and community representatives revealed that almost all of the respondents were well-informed about the regular visits of Rhinos to the villages and nearby forests.\u00a0 The dispersal of the species to Rautahat was understood to be the result of unsuitable habitats in Parsa due to human encroachment, weeds, and dense forest cover.\u00a0 Despite a few instances of human-rhino negative interactions reported from the area, most people had a positive
