India's national parks serve as guardians of the nation's diverse flora and fauna, preserving its rich biodiversity for future generations. Under the careful stewardship of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, these parks provide vital sanctuaries for India's varied wildlife. The journey of conservation began in 1935 with the establishment of Hailey National Park, now known as Jim Corbett National Park.
Since their inception, India has made significant strides in expanding its network of national parks. From just 5 parks in 1970, the country now boasts 92 national parks as of May 2004. Spanning an impressive 38,000 square kilometers, these parks cover approximately 1.2% of India's vast landscape. Plans are underway to further enhance this network, with proposed additions including Kambalakonda National Park in Andhra Pradesh, and Anamudi Shola and Pampadum Shola in Kerala.
These protected areas are crucial for conserving India's natural heritage and promoting biodiversity. They provide essential habitats for endangered species and serve as centers for eco-tourism, research, and environmental education. As custodians of India's wilderness, national parks are committed to ensuring the survival of its diverse wildlife for generations to come.
