Sanjay-Dubri Tiger Reserve
All of Sanjay-Dubri Tiger Reserve used to be in Madhya Pradesh, before Chhattisgarh was carved out of it in 2000. A large part of this 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi) area is now located in Chhattisgarh, which was renamed to "Guru Ghasidas National Park" by the Government of Chhattisgarh.[3][4][5]
The National Park is named after Guru Ghasidas.[4] It shared five tigers with Madhya Pradesh in 2010.[6] In addition, considering that what used to be Surguja State is now part of Chhattisgarh, and that the state has a district called Koriya, this overall area was the last known territory of the Asiatic cheetah in India.[7]
The Tiger Reserve comprises Sanjay National Park and the Dubri Wildlife Sanctuary, both of which cover more than 800 km2 (310 sq mi) and are located in Sidhi District. The area, with its large size and rich biodiversity, is well-known. It has Sal, bamboo and mixed forests.
According to an official census of Madhya Pradesh carried out in 2004, Sanjay National Park had six tigers. Eventually, however, no tiger was sighted there between October 2008 and May 2009.[1]
