Kutch Bustard Sanctuary

Kutch Bustard Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Kutch district, Gujarat, India

Kutch Bustard Sanctuary, also called Lala–Parjan Sanctuary, is a fenced grassland of about 2 square kilometres near Jakhau village in Abdasa taluka, Kutch district. Its arid plains hold scattered scrub and patches of bajra and juvar cultivation, and the Jakhau creeks border it to the north.

The sanctuary was created in 1992 as a focused effort to protect a species facing severe population decline. Its establishment marked a turning point in conservation efforts targeting this particular bird in the western region.

Local people call the great Indian bustard "Ghorad", the name also used in the Gujarati title of the sanctuary, Kachchh Ghorad Abhayaranya. The bird is a Schedule I species under India's Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. The sanctuary is also known as Lala–Parjan after the area where it lies near Jakhau village.

The cooler months from October to March offer the best conditions for visiting and observing wildlife comfortably. Bring binoculars or a camera and wear appropriate gear for walking across open terrain and grassland.

This location serves as one of the last remaining breeding grounds for a critically endangered bird species in the western part of the country. This role makes it exceptionally important for researchers and conservation organizations working to save the species.
