Talabaicha Island Wildlife Sanctuary

Talabaicha Island Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area located in the North and Middle Andaman district of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It covers an area of about 3.21 square kilometers and forms part of the rich biodiversity conservation efforts in this region.

The sanctuary is recognized for its ecological significance, serving as a habitat for diverse wildlife species in this island ecosystem. It lies within a cluster of islands in the West Baratang Group and contributes to the preservation of local flora and fauna in an otherwise sensitive and unique environment. The sanctuary is part of a larger network of wildlife sanctuaries and national parks across the Andaman Islands, which collectively safeguard many endemic species and marine ecosystems.

These protected areas are vital for maintaining the biological productivity and natural heritage of the islands. Talabaicha Island itself remains uninhabited and is managed under the administrative jurisdiction of the North and Middle Andaman district. The sanctuary exemplifies the islands' broader conservation mandate to protect both terrestrial and marine biodiversity.
