Keibul Lam Jeo
National Park - Near Imphal - Manipur
This unusual wilderness is the home of the Sangai or Manipur
brow- antlered deer. Once hunting reserve for waterfowl, the
tiny park is just 40 sq. km. in area. It was declared a
sanctuary in 1954 when numbers of the highly localised
Sangai became dangerously depleted. The graceful deer, noted
for their curved antlers, live on the floating vegetation on
the Logtak Lake, 32 km south of Imphal.. |

Sunderban National
Park: Calcutta - West Bengal
Located in the Ganga delta in West Bengal,
spanning the Hooghly in the west and Teulia river in the
east, Sunderbans was declared a National Park in 1984. The
park covers a vast stretch of mangrove swamp, lush forested
islands and small rivers near the Bay of Bengal. Most of the
region comprises estuarine mangrove forests and swamps which
supports an ecosystem specially adapted to great salinity.
Fauna: Sunderbans is home to the magnificent Royal Bengal
tiger, the park holding more tigers than any other tiger
reserve. More than 400 tigers were recorded during the
mid-1980s. Project tiger has also launched a programme to
protect the Olive Ridley sea turtles. Crocodiles and the
gangetic dolphin are to be found aplenty in the Raimgangal
river. The Sajnakhali sanctuary, famous for its rich avian
population, is regarded as a part of the Sunderbans National
Park.. |
