History Of Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wildlife Sanctuary

Tinsukia, Assam, India
The Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wildlife Sanctuary is a small but incredibly vital protected area, officially established in 1999 in the Tinsukia district of Assam. It covers a relatively small area of 7.22 square kilometers, making it a highly accessible and manageable sanctuary for visitors. The name comes from the three fragmented forest blocks—Bherjan, Borajan, and Padumoni—that collectively form the sanctuary. This unique composition of three separate patches of semi-evergreen forest ensures a varied habitat for its inhabitants despite its size. It plays a crucial role in conserving the rich biodiversity of the Upper Assam region, which is characterized by dense forest cover and close proximity to the Brahmaputra valley. The sanctuary is considered a biodiversity hotspot, mainly due to its importance as a refuge for various primate species, several of which are endangered. The forest type is predominantly Tropical Moist Deciduous and Semi-Evergreen, providing a lush, green environment throughout the year. The terrain is generally flat, with some gentle undulations, which makes it suitable for nature walks and easy exploration. The area is surrounded by human settlements, particularly tea gardens, which highlights the critical role of the sanctuary in providing a safe ecological corridor for wildlife in a rapidly developing region. It is a key area for eco-tourism and wildlife research, offering a valuable insight into the unique ecosystems of Northeast India. It’s a classic example of fragmented forest conservation success, ensuring the survival of key species outside the larger national parks. The total extent of 7.22 square kilometers is actively managed by the Tinsukia Wildlife Division of the Forest Department. The sheer density of wildlife in such a small area makes it a captivating destination for nature lovers and a major attraction in Tinsukia tourism. The small size often means a higher chance of spotting animals, particularly the resident primates, which are the main focus of conservation efforts here. The sanctuary's existence is a testament to the commitment to preserving the region's natural heritage.
