Things are looking up for the greater one-horned rhino.
The massive mammal, also called the Indian rhinoceros, saw its global population reach its highest level since the 1980s, according to the International Rhino Foundation, a Texas-based nonprofit focused on rhino conservation. There are now a total of 4,014 greater one-horned rhinos in the wild, split between India and Nepal. Assam, the Indian province that hosts 70% of the species' population, just finished its biannual rhino survey and counted 274 more rhinos than the last survey.

Both governments have implemented measures to protect the animals' habitats to give"rhinos the space they need to breed" and to combat poaching.
