Bukkapatna Chinkara Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Sira taluk, Karnataka, India.
The Bukkapatna Chinkara Wildlife Sanctuary extends across 148 square kilometers of woodland savanna habitat in the Tumakuru district of Karnataka state.
Wildlife biologist Sanjay Gubbi identified chinkaras during a leopard study, leading to the sanctuary's official establishment by the Karnataka government in May 2019.
Local conservation efforts focus on protecting the Indian Gazelle population, which represents the southernmost distribution of this species in the Indian subcontinent.
The protected area houses 20 mammal species, 12 amphibian species, 20 reptile species, and more than 160 bird species within its boundaries.
The sanctuary contains a population of approximately 80 chinkaras, making it the largest concentration of these antelopes in Karnataka state.
