Achanakmar-Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve at Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh border, India.
The reserve spans 3,835 square kilometers across dense forests, grasslands, and wetlands, forming a critical watershed for the Narmada and Sone rivers.
Designated as a wildlife sanctuary in 1983, the area received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2005 to protect its natural resources and genetic diversity.
The indigenous tribes within the reserve maintain traditional practices of forest product gathering and agriculture, contributing to regional preservation methods.
The reserve permits guided tours between October and March, when temperatures remain moderate for exploring wildlife and participating in nature activities.
This conservation area contains 1,500 plant species from 151 families, including 25 rare medicinal plants and essential habitats for Bengal tigers.
