Wildlife Conservation in Sariska

Sariska Tiger Reserve was created in 1978. The present area of the Reserve is 866 sq. km. In the pre-independence period, the forests within the Reserve were a part of the erstwhile Alwar State and maintained as a hunting preserve for the royalty.

After independence, these were first notified as a Reserve wherein it was unlawful to hunt, shoot, net, trap, snare, capture or kill any kind of wild animals in 1955.

The Reserve status was upgraded to that of a Sanctuary in 1958. Later, in view of the preservation of wild animals in a better way, a few forest areas contiguous to the Sanctuary were also incorporated.

The primary notification to declare part of the core as a National Park was issued in 1982. The final notification is pending in view of the need to relocate a few villages from the Park.
