    Forest and Water Resources.

    Written by Sir Tahir (Philologist in European Literature and Languages.)


    (Researcher in Natural Sciences.)
     
     
    India is unique in the richness and diversity of its vegetation and wildlife. India's national parks and wild life
    sanctuaries (including bird sanctuaries) from Ladakh in Himalayas to Southern tip of Tamil Nadu, are
    outstanding  and the country continues to "WOW" the tourists with its rich bio-diversity and heritage. 
    Wildlife sanctuaries in India attracts people from all over the world as the rarest of rare species are found
    here. With 96 national parks and over 500 wildlife sanctuaries, the range and diversity of India's wildlife
    heritage is matchless. Some of the important sanctuaries in India are The Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve –
    Uttaranchal, Kanha National Park and Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh, Ranthambhor
    National Park - Sawai Madhopur, Gir National Park - Sasangir (Gujarat) etc. Supporting a great variety of
    mammals and over 585 species of birds, India's first national park, the Corbett was established in the
    foothills of Himalayas.
    Wildlife lovers will be excited to see magnificent Bird Sanctuary at Bharatpur, Rajasthan as it is the second
    habitat in the world that is visited by the Siberian Cranes in winter and it provides a vast breeding area for
    the native water birds.
    In the Indian deserts, the most discussed bird is the Great Indian bustard. In western Himalayas, one can
    see birds like Himalayan monal pheasant, western tragopan, koklass, white crested khalij pheasant, griffon
    vultures, lammergiers, choughs, ravens. In the Andaman and Nicobar
    region, about 250 species and sub species of birds are found, such as
    rare Narcondum horn bill, Nicobar pigeon and megapode.
    While the national park and sanctuaries of northern and central India
    are better known, there are quite a few parks and sanctuaries in
    South India, too. For e.g. , Madumalai in Tamil Nadu and Bandipur
    Tiger Reserve and Nagahole National Park in Karnataka.
    A tour of Indian wildlife sanctuaries and national parks is a fabulous
    experience. Contrary to the African Safari, the vegetation and terrain
    in India is such that wild animals are often solitary or in small herds,
    elusive and shy.
    India has unmatched variety of flora and fauna that makes it extensively different from the rest of the world.
    Tourists visiting for wildlife tour in India, will enjoy during any season, but to experience migrating birds,
    tiger, leopard, barasingha and other rare species, then winter is the best season to visit sanctuaries
    especially for those tourists coming for wildlife tour in India. Due to water scarcity in the hot weather,
    animals come out in herd in search of water, therefore most of the sanctuaries are closed during summer
    season. Tourists can opt for jungle safari in an open jeep but the experience on elephants back is
    overwhelming.
    Wildlife Conservation Society(WCS) India in association with other NGO partners and tribal people, is
    making every possible effort to develop new models of wildlife conservation to preserve India's most
    treasured fauna and to protect the environment.
