History of Jim Corbett National Park
Corbett National Park, established in 1936 as Hailey National Park, is the oldest national park in India and one of the country's most important wildlife sanctuaries. Located in Uttarakhand, the park's history is closely tied to the renowned British-Indian hunter-turned-conservationist, Jim Corbett. Corbett was instrumental in establishing the park and advocating for the protection of wildlife, particularly tigers. He is best known for his efforts in hunting down man-eating tigers, but his legacy is marked by his dedication to conservation and his vision for protecting the region's wildlife.
In 1955, after India gained independence, the park was renamed Corbett National Park in his honor. The park’s biodiversity includes Bengal tigers, elephants, leopards, and numerous bird species. It became the first national park to be included in India’s Project Tiger initiative in 1973, a government conservation program aimed at protecting the tiger population and its habitats.
Over the decades, Corbett National Park has seen significant conservation efforts, including anti-poaching measures, improved management practices, and habitat restoration. Its inclusion in Project Tiger contributed to the recovery of the tiger population. Today, Corbett covers about 1,300 square kilometers and remains a prime tourist destination, known for its rich biodiversity and excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing.
The park is part of the Corbett Tiger Reserve, which is an important ecological corridor for tigers. Corbett’s historical and ongoing significance in wildlife conservation, as well as its role as a symbol of the balance between humans and nature, makes it an enduring legacy of Jim Corbett’s vision for India’s natural heritage.
