Wildlife Conservation in Sariska
Sariska Tiger Reserve was created in 1978. The present area of the Reserve is
866 sq. km. In the pre-independence period, the forests within the Reserve were
a part of the erstwhile Alwar State and maintained as a hunting preserve for
the royalty. After independence, these were first notified as a Reserve wherein
it was unlawful to hunt, shoot, net, trap, snare, capture or kill any kind of
wild animals in 1955.
The Reserve status was upgraded to that of a Sanctuary in 1958. Later, in view
of the preservation of wild animals in a better way, a few forest areas contiguous
to the Sanctuary were also incorporated.
The primary notification to declare part of the core as a National Park was
issued in 1982. The final notification is pending in view of the need to relocate
a few villages from the Park.
