Recently, the population of the vulnerable eastern swamp deer has dipped in the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve (Assam). The eastern swamp deer is extinct elsewhere in South Asia.
This decline can be attributed to two high floods in 2019 and 2020.
However, on the brighter side, the eastern swamp deer has now been distributed to areas beyond the Kaziranga National Park, such as Orang National Park and Laokhowa-Burachapori wildlife sanctuaries (Assam).d.
