History
The Shenduruny Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1984. Before its declaration as a sanctuary, the area was primarily used for timber extraction. The recognition of its ecological significance and the need to protect its unique flora and fauna led to its establishment. The sanctuary also encompasses areas with historical significance, including remnants of ancient human settlements dating back to the Mesolithic period. Archaeological excavations have unearthed rock-cut caves and artifacts, providing insights into the region's rich cultural heritage. The sanctuary's history is intertwined with the conservation efforts aimed at preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Western Ghats.
