Eturnagaram Wildlife Sanctuary

Declared a sanctuary in 1952, Eturnagaram's history is intertwined with the conservation efforts in the region. The area was once a dense forest, rich in biodiversity, but faced threats from deforestation and poaching. The establishment of the sanctuary aimed to protect the flora and fauna and preserve the natural heritage. Over the years, various initiatives have been undertaken to improve the sanctuary's infrastructure and enhance wildlife management. The local tribal communities have also played a significant role in the conservation efforts, with their traditional knowledge and practices contributing to the sanctuary's well-being. The sanctuary has faced challenges such as habitat loss and human-animal conflict, but continuous efforts are being made to address these issues and ensure the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. Today, Eturnagaram stands as a testament to the importance of wildlife conservation and the dedication of those involved in its protection.
