Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary

Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary is a small protected wetland reserve in the foothills of the Shivalik Hills in Rupnagar district, Punjab, India. It lies on the banks of the Sutlej River and is part of the broader Nangal Wetland system, centered on a man-made reservoir created in 1961 as part of the Bhakra-Nangal Project. Established in 2009 and recognized internationally as a Ramsar site in 2019, the sanctuary is best known as a refuge for migratory waterbirds in an otherwise heavily developed river landscape. The reserve spans about 116 hectares in and around the town of Nangal, immediately adjacent to the Nangal Dam. Despite its modest size, the sanctuary supports a rich mix of birds, freshwater fish, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles, including several threatened species. It is one of Punjab's most important sites for waterbird conservation and is closely tied to the larger hydrological and ecological story of the Sutlej. Alongside its ecological value, Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary is a regional draw for birdwatching, particularly during the winter migration season. However, it faces ongoing pressures from encroachment, pollution, and habitat degradation, which makes its protected status all the more important for maintaining wetland habitat in the area.
