History of Kaziranga National Park:
Here we are in the year 1904. An excursion by Lord Curzon and his wife Mary Curzon led to the birth of Kaziranga wildlife park. There were no traces of rhinos, which coerced Mary Curzon to persuade her husband to help preserve the dwindling rhino species. Time changed this region into Kaziranga National Park with an area of 430 square kilometers. In 1985, this park was recognized as a UNESCO heritage site. Today Kaziranga stands proudly as a protege for the rhino species and houses around two-thirds of the world’s one-horned rhinoceros population.
