History
Rajaji National Park was established in 1983 by merging three existing wildlife sanctuaries: Chilla, Motichur, and Rajaji. Named after C. Rajagopalachari, a prominent freedom fighter and the first Governor-General of India, the park was created to protect the region's diverse wildlife and their natural habitat. The area has a long history of human interaction, with evidence of ancient settlements and traditional forest use by local communities. Over the years, the park has faced challenges related to habitat fragmentation, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching. Conservation efforts are ongoing to mitigate these threats and ensure the long-term survival of the park's wildlife populations. Today, Rajaji National Park stands as a vital protected area and a testament to India's commitment to biodiversity conservation.
