Agora que sabemos que as catástrofes ambientais são passíveis de reversão temos que fazer escolhas. Por exemplo, queremos continuar a alimentar o turismo irresponsável ou fazemos marcha-atrás e iniciamos um outro tipo de turismo? Um outro tipo de consumo? Um outro tipo de construção, um outro tipo de industria e por aí fora?

Nepal's rhino population grows to highest in decades as pandemic pauses tourism

By Esha Mitra, Sophie Jeong and Ben Westcott

Acharya said the tally was calculated by teams who divided the huge rhino habitat into squares and then counted the animals inside manually, sometimes riding domesticated elephants to cover the distances between areas.

of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation.

It took about three weeks to count all the rhinos by a "direct sighting method," with 

Chitwan National Park proving the most difficult area due to its large population of the 

animals, Acharya said. According to the 2015 census of the rhinos, 90% of the animals 

lived in the park.
