Pilibhit Tiger Reserve

It forms part of the Terai Arc Landscape in the upper Gangetic Plain along the India-Nepal border. The habitat is characterized by sal forests, tall grasslands, and swamps maintained by periodic flooding from rivers. The Sharda Sagar Dam extending up to a length of 22 km (14 mi) is on the boundary of the reserve. Pilibhit is one of the few well-forested districts in Uttar Pradesh. According to an

estimate of the year 2018, Pilibhit district has over 800 km2 (310 sq mi) of forests, constituting roughly 23% of the district’s total area. Forests in Pilibhit have at least 65 tigers and prey including five species of deer. The Pilibhit Tiger Reserve got the first International award TX2 for doubling the Tiger population at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in a stipulated time. The protected area used to be a timber-yielding reserve forest, until it was declared as the 46th tiger reserve in June 2014

The northeastern boundary of the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve is the River Sharda, which defines the Indo-Nepal border, while the southwest boundary is marked by the River Sharda and the River Ghaghara.
