Established in 1960, Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary initially aimed to protect the dwindling population of grey jungle fowl. Over time, its scope expanded to encompass the conservation of the entire ecosystem. The sanctuary represents one of the oldest mountain ranges in India, the Aravallis, and holds significant geological and ecological importance. Historically, the area was part of the Rajputana kingdoms and served as a hunting ground for royalty. Today, it stands as a testament to conservation efforts, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the region.
