Eravikulam National Park

Eravikulam National Park was established in 1978 to protect the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Initially, it was a game sanctuary before being declared a national park. The park has a rich history dating back to the colonial era when it was used as a hunting ground by the British. Over time, the importance of conserving the region's unique biodiversity was recognized, leading to the establishment of the park. The park has since become a significant site for ecological research and conservation efforts. The park's management has implemented various measures to protect the Nilgiri Tahr population and its habitat. These efforts have been successful in increasing the Tahr population, making the park a model for wildlife conservation in India.
