One of the richest sanctuaries in India, in terms of wild life, the Kanha Wildlife Sanctuary is home to a number of animals, birds and reptiles. Often considered to have influenced the composition of Rudyard Kipling’s novel, the jungle book, with its vast store of wildlife, the Kanha Wildlife Sanctuary is a must-visit for all lovers of the wild. The Barasingha Deer is perhaps the most important animal in this sanctuary, a creature that has almost come to symbolize the uniqueness of the park. Once almost on the verge of extinction, he Barasingha Deer, today roams free once again amidst the safety of the park. The threat of extinction that they faced almost 20 years ago is today removed largely due to the efforts of the authorities of the Kanha National Park. By taking steps like fencing off the Barasingha Deer from other potentially dangerous animals, the threat has been largely curbed.
