Shuklaphanta National Park running out of space to accommodate growing blackbuck population

The national park has built a special sanctuary on 59.8 hectares of the park land in Hirapur Phanta, which is home to 203 blackbucks.

The Shuklaphanta National Park has made great strides in increasing the number of blackbucks ( Antilope cervicarpa ) in the Hirapur area over the last few years. However, the national park is currently facing space constraints to accommodate the growing blackbuck population.
