Dudhwa National Park

Dudhwa National Park protects a vital tract of Terai grassland and wetland habitat in northern India's Gangetic plain. The park's alluvial landscape, shaped by ancient river systems flowing from the Himalayas, creates a mosaic of tall grasslands, marshy wetlands, and scattered forest patches that provide critical habitat for numerous species. The Terai region, once heavily forested and drained for agriculture, now exists in fragmented pockets with Dudhwa representing one of the most intact remaining examples. The park forms part of a broader conservation landscape connected to tiger reserves in Nepal, creating an important transboundary ecological corridor. The protection of this area acknowledges both its ecological significance as a biodiversity hotspot and its role in watershed protection for the surrounding agricultural lands. The park's management under the Uttar Pradesh State Government emphasizes the balance between wildlife conservation and the needs of local communities who share this landscape.
