List of Proposed National Parks

National parks in India are IUCN category II protected

areas. India's rst national park was established in 1936
as Hailey National Park, now known as Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand. By 1970, India only had ve
national parks. In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard the habitats
of conservation reliant species. Further federal legislation strengthening protections for wildlife was introduced
in the 1980s. As of July 2015, there were 105 national
parks encompassing an area of 40,500 km2 (15,600 sq
mi) , comprising 1.23% of Indias total surface area.[1]
