Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary
Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary, located in Jharkhand about 89 kilometers north of Ranchi, was established in 1955 and covers an area of around 184 square kilometers. It lies in low hilly terrain with mixed deciduous forests dominated by sal trees. Historically, the area was a private hunting reserve for the kings of Ramgarh before becoming a protected sanctuary.
The sanctuary is home to a diverse range of wildlife including species like chital, sambar deer, wild boar, foxes, hyenas, sloth bears, peafowl, and various bird species. While it once housed tigers and leopards, these larger predators have become rare due to deforestation and hunting, though sightings of tigers visiting from neighboring reserves have been reported recently.
The sanctuary includes several watchtowers near waterholes for wildlife observation and features a network of roads to facilitate visitor access. It plays an important role in conserving regional biodiversity and provides a natural retreat with rich flora and fauna.
