140,000sq km and constitutes 4 percent of the country's
total land area. The emphasis has not only been on protecting
wildlife in reserved forests, but in areas where man and
animal continue to live in harmony.
The country's protected wilderness consists of 75 National
Parks and 421 Sanctuaries, of which 19 fall under the
purview of Project Tiger. |
Its climatic and geographic diversity makes it the home
of over 350 mammals and 1,200 bird species, many of which
are unique to the subcontinent. The land of the tiger
and the elephant, the peacock and the rhinoceros, India's
wildlife is a delight for the nature lover. The wildlife
parks and sanctuaries spread across the country offer
a fascinating diversity of terrain, flora and fauna. |
