Hail Haor Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife refuge in Moulvibazar District, Bangladesh.

The sanctuary encompasses a wetland system that spans 14,000 hectares during monsoon season and reduces to 3,000 hectares in summer months.

The Bangladesh government established this protected area in 1983 to safeguard the natural habitat of resident and migratory waterfowl populations.

Local communities from 62 villages near the sanctuary practice traditional rice cultivation methods when water levels recede after monsoon season.

Visitors can access the sanctuary by taking a train or road transport to Srimangal, located 3 kilometers southeast of the protected area.

The wetland supports 40,000 to 50,000 water birds during winter migration, while providing water resources to 172,000 residents when other sources diminish.
