History
The reserve gained official protection in 2002 as a dedicated elephant sanctuary and habitat corridor. This designation followed recognition of the need to safeguard migration routes and populations in this region.
Culture
Indigenous groups living near the reserve have long followed seasonal patterns that align with elephant movements and forest cycles. This knowledge shapes how people and wildlife coexist in the landscape today.
