Thanthai Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
Thanthai Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Erode district, Tamil Nadu, was officially notified in 2023 as the state's 18th wildlife sanctuary, covering about 801 square kilometers. It is located in the Bargur Hills where the Eastern and Western Ghats merge, serving as an important ecological corridor linking the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve with Cauvery South Wildlife Sanctuary and connecting to forests in Karnataka. This sanctuary supports a variety of wildlife including elephants, tigers, leopards, gaurs, and sloth bears, and plays a key role in tiger conservation as a recognized tiger corridor.
It is also part of the Nilgiris Elephant Reserve and forms a crucial catchment area for the Palar River, which supports agriculture downstream. The sanctuary is culturally significant to tribal and local communities who depend on its resources, although there have been concerns about the impact of its notification on forest-dwelling livelihoods.
