A rare news regarding Indian conservation success story from BBC
The hangul - a sub-species of red deer found only in Indian-administered Kashmir - appears to have made an extraordinary comeback.
The latest census, conducted in March, puts the raw count of the endangered animal at 175. The increase in numbers may be nominal but wildlife authorities say it's a sign of hope.

That is great news. Poaching should have the stiffest penalties.
