In this photograph taken on February 21, 2012, tourists riding on elephants photograph a one-horned rhinoceros with her calf at the Kaziranga National Park, some 230 km from Guwahati, in India’s northeastern state of Assam. A continuing decline in the quality of the rhino's habitat will affect the long-term survival of some of the smaller populations, said a report in the latest IUCN "Red List" of threatened species". More than 400 plants and animals were added to a "Red List" of species at risk of extinction on October 17, 2012, raising the alarm as more than 70 environment ministers met for a global conference.
