The World Wide Fund for Nature-India (WWF) discovered a few tigers in Assam’s Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary. It is one of Assam’s smallest WS (Wildlife Sanctuary).
About the Sanctuary:
It is located in the northern Assam districts of Baksa and Udalguri, bordering Bhutan,
It is bounded to the west and east by the Barnadi and Nalapara rivers, respectively.
Barnadi was created specifically to protect the Pygmy Hog (Sus salvanius) and Hispid Hare (Caprolagus hispidus).
Approximately 60% of the BWS is reported to be Grassland, with the majority of it now being grassy woodland.
The main forest types are tropical moist deciduous (northern edge of the Sanctuary) and mixed scrub and grassland (southern part).
Commercial plantations of Bombax ceiba, Tectona grandis, and Eucalyptus, as well as thatch , have replaced the majority of the natural vegetation.
