Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Sagar district, India
Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary is a large protected area in Sagar district with woodlands, grasslands, and rolling hills. The land is home to leopards, several predator species, and many bird types.
The area gained protection status in 1975 as part of India's efforts to preserve natural habitats. Since then, efforts have continued to restore and expand wildlife populations.
Local communities participate in conservation work that keeps traditional knowledge about the forest alive. This shapes how people today use the land and care for it.
The best time to visit is between October and March when wildlife sightings are most common. Visitors should hire an experienced guide and travel early in the morning or late afternoon to see animals.
The sanctuary was selected to reintroduce African cheetahs, a species that disappeared from India 75 years ago. This makes it a crucial site for bringing these animals back to Asia.
