The
Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
Established in 1973, the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary is contiguous to the protected
area network of Nagarhole and Bandipur of Karnataka on the northeast and Mudumalai
of Tamil Nadu on the southeast. Rich in bio-diversity, the sanctuary is an integral
part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which has been established with the specific
objective of conserving the biological heritage of the region.
The sanctuary is very rich in flora and fauna. The management lays emphasis
on scientific conservation with due consideration for the general lifestyle
of the tribals and others who live in and around the forest region.
