Located
on the border of Nepal and India, Dudhwa was established
as a sanctuary in 1968 and was later upgraded to a national
park in 1977. The sanctuary was initially established
to protect its large and over hunted population of Swamp
Deer or Barasingha. The park was the site of sucessful
reintroduction of tigers, leopards and rhinocerous under
the loving care of naturalist "Billy" Arjan
Singh. Dudhwa is one of India's most exciting wildlife
reserves but sadly it is also the most vunerable and
sensitive. |
