Keoladeo Ghana National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and formerly known as the Bahratpur Bird Sanctuary is a famous avifauna sanctuary that sees (or saw) thousands of rare and highly endangered birds such as the Siberian Crane come here during the winter season.Created by the Maharaja of Bharatpur in the 19th century by diverting water from an irrigation canal, Keoladeo was founded as a shooting preserve, but given the status of a bird sanctuary in 1956.

Upgraded to a national park in 1982, the area today ranks as one of the best water birds preserves in the world.In addition to the birds, Keoladeo is home to a wide range of mammal and reptile species, including deer, jackals, black buck, fishing cats, otters and blue bulls.Keoladeo Ghana National Park (Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary) besides the wetland, contains various other habitats from woodland, scrub and pasture to denuded saline patches. Wetlands comprise half the area, while the others occupy the rest.

The wetland is a part of the Indo-gangetic Great Plains, and for most of the year the effective area is only 10 sq kms. The rest of the area remains dry. The unique ecosystem of Keoladeo Ghana makes its preservation an essential aspect of the preservation of Indian Wildlife.
