    Default Bor wildlife Sanctuary

    Bor Wildlife Sanctuary is situated along the Southern boundary of Nagpur district and Northern boundary of Wardha district of Maharashtra, and extends over an area 61.10 sq.km. excluding the reservoir. It represents the floral and faunal wealth of Satpuda-Maikal Landscape. Satpuda runs along the Northern boundary of Maharashtra from West to East and meets the Maikal Hill range which comes from Kanha. It was a game reserve which was subsequently declared as Wildlife Sanctuary in 1970 to conserve its rich biodiversity and the catchment value of Bor River whose sub basin is Wardha River and basin is Godavari River. Bor Wildlife Sanctuary supports a dense population of Tiger and Panther which is comparable to Kahna and Pench in terms of animals/km2.
    Bor Wildlife Sanctuary derives its name from Bor River which meanders along the central portion of the sanctuary like serpants and divides the sanctuary in two parts. As per local guides the name Bor is due to the availability of trees, called Bor in hindi called Ber.

    I had been to Tadoba, but never visited this place. Good to know the details. You can post a few images of the place in this thread, that will give some more idea. Thanks for sharing the updates.

    I have also read that Bor is a place where sightings of sloth bears in the morning during spring is good. Some estimation has placeed its tiger population at 12. NTCA has advised the state government to send the detailed proposal for considering it as a T.R.
    We are hoping against hope.
    There is news that Palamu Tiger Reserve has possibly lost all its tigers.
