Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wildlife Sanctuary Location Updated

The Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected forest area in the northeastern state of Assam, has recently provided clarified information about its exact location and extent. The sanctuary encompasses three forest ranges—Bherjan, Borajan and Padumoni—covering a mosaic of tropical evergreen and semi‑evergreen habitats.

State forest officials highlighted that the updated mapping will aid in better management of the sanctuary’s rich biodiversity, which includes several endangered species of mammals, birds and reptiles. The clarified boundaries are also expected to streamline eco‑tourism initiatives and community‑based conservation programs.

The announcement comes as part of the forest department’s ongoing effort to improve data accuracy for all protected areas in the state, ensuring that conservation policies are grounded in precise geographic information.

Stakeholders, including local communities and wildlife researchers, have welcomed the move, noting that clear demarcation reduces human‑wildlife conflict and supports sustainable livelihood opportunities linked to the sanctuary.

Further details and official maps are expected to be made available on the department’s website in the coming weeks.
