The world-famous Rajaji National Park (RNP; 29°15'-30°31'N, 77°52'-78°22'E) Uttarakhand, India has recently been notified as Rajaji Tiger Reserve (RTR). This Protected Area is now the 48th Tiger Reserve in the country and the second in Uttarakhand. Declaring RNP as a Tiger Reserve is noteworthy because it sustains a wide range of endangered animals in the upper Gangetic plains, especially the Asian elephants and tigers.

Abstract


The world-famous Rajaji National Park (RNP; 29°15'-30°31'N, 77°52'-78°22'E) Uttarakhand, India has recently been notified as Rajaji Tiger Reserve (RTR). This Protected Area is now the 48th Tiger Reserve in the country and the second in Uttarakhand. Declaring RNP as a Tiger Reserve is noteworthy because it sustains a wide range of endangered animals in the upper Gangetic plains, especially the Asian elephants and tigers.
