The Role of Tehla in Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary Conservation

Tucked within Alwar’s serene landscapes, Tehla Gate holds the key to understanding and safeguarding Sariska National Park, one of the most cherished wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan. Beyond the famed Sariska Tiger Reserve lies Tehla Gate, a gateway to eco-tourism, sustainability, and conservation, making it a cornerstone in the park’s enduring legacy.

A Glimpse into Sariska’s Conservation History

Sariska’s journey as a wildlife haven began in 1955, later, it became an integral part of Project Tiger in India in 1973 earning its place as one of the leading wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan. The sanctuary faced significant challenges, including the complete disappearance of tigers in 2005 due to poaching and human interference. Bold measures like anti-poaching initiatives and the relocation of villages helped Sariska reclaim its status as a thriving tiger reserve, ensuring the Bengal tiger's safe return. Today, Sariska stands tall as a beacon of hope for wildlife conservation.
