History
The Sagareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary's history is rooted in a visionary conservation project. In the late 1950s, the area was barren and devoid of significant vegetation. Recognizing the potential for ecological restoration, local authorities initiated an ambitious afforestation program. Over several decades, native trees and shrubs were planted, transforming the landscape into a dense forest. Deer, initially introduced to the area, thrived and multiplied, attracting other wildlife species. The sanctuary was officially recognized as a protected area, safeguarding its unique ecosystem. Today, it stands as a successful example of human intervention positively shaping the environment and providing a sanctuary for wildlife.
