The Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary was established to protect the region's rich biodiversity and unique ecosystem. Historically, the area was known for its dense forests and served as a vital watershed for the surrounding regions. Before its declaration as a sanctuary, the forests faced threats from logging and encroachment. The establishment of the sanctuary helped to conserve the natural habitat and prevent further degradation. Over the years, conservation efforts have focused on protecting endangered species, managing the forest resources sustainably, and promoting eco-tourism. Today, the sanctuary stands as a testament to the importance of preserving natural habitats and promoting responsible tourism.
