Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary, Protected wilderness area in northern West Bengal, India.
The sanctuary extends across 960 hectares of mixed grasslands and forests, creating natural habitats for elephants, leopards, and numerous bird species.
The Indian Forest Act designated Chapramari as a national reserve forest in 1895, later receiving wildlife sanctuary status from the government in 1998.
The name Chapramari reflects local fishing traditions, combining 'Chapra', a small fish variety, with 'Mari', indicating the abundance of aquatic life.
The sanctuary remains closed during monsoon season from mid-July to mid-September, with access available through Malbazar Rail Station, 15 kilometers away.
A railway line crossing through the sanctuary creates specific wildlife management challenges, particularly regarding elephant movement and protection measures.
