NATIONAL PARK IN INDIA // IMPORTANT FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION//NET//SSC
What is a National Park
An area, whether within a sanctuary or not, can be notified by the state government to be constituted as a National Park, by reason of its ecological, faunal, floral, geomorphologic, or zoological association or importance, needed to for the purpose of protecting & propagating or developing wildlife therein or its environment.
National parks in India are IUCN category II protected areas. India's first national park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park , now known as Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand. By 1970, India only had five national parks. In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger in 1973 to safeguard the habitats of conservation reliant species.
There are 103 National Parks and 544 Wildlife Sanctuaries in India. Madhya Pradesh and Andaman & Nicobar Islands have the maximum number of National Parks (9 each). The spectacular natural beauty across the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India attracts millions of tourists every year.
