There are reports of poaching, encroachment, logging and various developmental projects etc. With this in mind, the Brahmaputra valley of Assam was selected to assess the wild life status annually during the period ranging from 1981-2011. The study reveals significant decrease in Rhinocer ospoaching; this can be attributed to adequate staffing, patrolling, intelligence gathering and control over the use of firearms. It is also observed that natural death for elephants show decreasing trend significantly. The studies also conclude that attacks by wild elephant son human shows significant increasing/decreasing trend at Sonitpurand Goalpara district respectively. The attacks on human can be attributed to the clearance of forests for settlement/agriculture.

In a nutshell, the increase in Rhino, elephant, Tiger and Swamp deer during the study period can be attributed to the increase in allocation and expenditure to train the staff for protecting the animals.
