The forest has around 2600 one-horned rhinos and threatens to spoil the territory of horned rhinos and other animals. Around 17 invasive plant species that have been set up in diverse areas within the national park cause a significant threat to habitats.

It has widened an extensive plan of action to deal with the threat of expansion of the species and the regeneration of invasive species at hazard. The Director of the Kaziranga National Park asked the system concerned for authorization to bear out tentative sampling, cutting, uprooting, and enveloping.
