Under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, National Parks allow almost no human activity, while Wildlife Sanctuaries permit limited regulated use. There are currently 107 <a href=\"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/national-parks-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>National Parks in India<\/strong><\/a> covering 44,402.95 square kilometres and 574 Wildlife Sanctuaries covering 127,241.24 square kilometres, together forming the backbone of biodiversity conservation.

These parks are unique because they were carved out of pre-existing sanctuaries to give stronger legal protection to ecologically sensitive core zones. The parks safeguard rare mammals like the Indian Gaur and Clouded Leopard, preserve tropical semi-evergreen forests, and protect river-fed ecosystems linked to the Gumti River system. Their strategic location between sanctuaries and wetlands ensures habitat connectivity, species movement, and long-term ecological stability within a small northeastern state with high forest dependence.<\/span><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/current-affairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/National-Parks-in-Tripura-Map.webp\" alt=\"National Parks in Tripura Map\" title=\"National Parks in Tripura Map\" class=\"my-image my-image-size-full my-image-align-none\" style=\"width: auto;
