National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries of India
India’s first national park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, now known as Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand. Until 1970, there were only five national parks in India.
In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Conservation Act and Project Tiger to protect the habitats of conservation-dependent species. Here we have given a list of useful national parks for your competitive examinations.
