History
The history of Kaziranga National Park is rooted in conservation efforts initiated in the early 20th century. In 1905, Mary Curzon, the wife of the Viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, visited the area and was dismayed by the dwindling rhino population. She urged her husband to take measures to protect the species, leading to the establishment of a reserve forest in 1908. Over the years, the reserve was expanded and upgraded to a sanctuary in 1950 and finally declared a national park in 1974. Kaziranga's success in conserving the one-horned rhinoceros and other endangered species is a testament to the dedication of conservationists and the local communities who have worked tirelessly to protect this invaluable natural heritage. In 1985, UNESCO recognized its global significance by declaring it a World Heritage Site.
