A truly special moment of connection, conservation, and culture 🦏🇳🇵
The Consulate of Nepal and the Taronga Zoo jointly hosted a warm welcome for Hari, the magnificent one-horned rhinoceros of Nepalese origin. This event celebrates not only Hari’s arrival, but also the enduring friendship between Nepal and Australia, and our shared commitment to wildlife conservation.
The greater one-horned rhinoceros, native to Nepal, is a symbol of strength and resilience, and Hari’s presence at Taronga Zoo offers a powerful opportunity to raise awareness about the protection of endangered species and the importance of preserving natural heritage.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in making this occasion memorable, and we invite the community to visit Hari and learn more about Nepal’s rich biodiversity and conservation efforts. We would also encourage everyone to visit Nepal and experience Rhinos at their natural habitat.
