Experience Chambal Safari at National Chambal Sanctuary

Nestled within the ambience of Chambal River which is at the Tri point of Rajasthan
, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh the national park here is home to critically endangered animals like Crocodile, red-crowned roof turtle and Ganges River Dolphin.

Since the site of the national park interlocks the border of three states so the management process is handled by all the three states. All the animals here are the rarest of rare and during the course of civilisation they lost half of their breed and at present all the animals are almost on the line of extinction.

History 

It was in 1978 when administrative blocks approved and authorised it as a national park and protected area under the order no of 17-74/77-FRY and when it comes to claim the status of Sanctuary than 18(1) of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 provided sufficient reason to make it wildlife sanctuary.

Conservation Management

As mentioned above the site is protected under the constitutional act of Wildlife Protection 1972 so the field of sanctuary is managed and supervised by department of forest of Madhya Pradesh. It is very sad to learn that part of the sanctuary is threatened by illegal mining which in turn has made difficult for crocodile to initiate with their breeding process at the same time the situation is hampering lotic ecosystem.

So to prevent such measures ministry of forest and environment have set up National Tri-State Chambal Sanctuary Management and Coordination Committee to protect the crocodiles of the Chambal sanctuary.
