» Keoladeo Ghana National Park

A
forestation policy of planting acacias was vigorously followed.
However the ecosystem at the Park continues to be fragile due to
pressures of tourism and need for water from surrounding villages.
However the environmentalists won the day in 1985 when UNESCO listed
it as World Heritage site and earlier in 1982 it was declared as
National Park. And, today the Park is recognised as the most important
breeding and feed grounds for the birds in the world. Some species
are still endangered and especially the Siberian crane. Visitors
are advised to maintain low noise level and avoid littering the
park.
» Sariska Tiger Reserve
The landscape of Sariska comprises of hills and narrow valleys of
the Aravali hill range. The topography of Sariska supports scrub-thorn
arid forests, dry deciduous forests, rocks and grasses. The broad
range of wildlife here is a wonderful example of ecological adoption
and tolerance, for the climate here is variable as well as erratic.
» Ranthambhor National Park

A
significant geological feature within the park is the 'Great Boundary
Fault' where the Vindhaya plateau meets the Aravali range. The Rivers
Chambal in the South and the Banas in the North bound the National
Park. The park is dotted with steep rocky hills and the dominating
architecture of Ranthambhor Fort (built in the 10th century), adds
to its landscape. The rugged park terrain alternates between dry
deciduous forest, open grassy meadow, dotted by several lakes and
rivers that are only made passable by rough roads built and maintained
by the Forest Service.
» Desert National Park
The Desert National Park is an excellent example of the ecosystem
of the Thar Desert and its rich fauna. The Sudashri forest post
is the most ideal place for observing wildlife in the Desert National
Park. Sand dunes form less than 20 percent of the Park, which consists
of craggy rocks, pavements and compact salt lake bottoms, intermedial
areas and fixed dunes.

The bird life at Kumbhalgarh is also gratifying. The normally shy
and untrusted grey jungle fowl can be spotted here. Peacocks and
Doves can be sighted regularly feeding on grains scattered by the
jungle guards. Bird like the red spur owls, Parakeets, golden Oriole,
grey Pigeons, Bulbul, Dove and white breasted kingfisher can also
be seen near the water holes.
» Mount Abu Sanctuary
The sanctuary is rich in herbal medicinal plants also. About 81
species of tree, 89 species of shrubs, 28 species of climbers and
