Ranthambore National Park
is an outstanding example of Project Tiger's efforts at
conservation in the country. The forests around the Ranthambore Fort were once, the private hunting grounds
of the Maharajas of Jaipur. In 1972, it was estimated,
that there were around 1927 tigers in India, of which
Rajasthan had 74, and the number of big cats in
Ranthambore Sanctuary was 14.
1972 was also the year that Project Tiger was launched,
and this sanctuary was taken into its wings, with seven
other sanctuaries and national parks. Today the tiger
population at Ranthambore is estimated at 27 tigers in
the tourism area.
The Park is also home to mammals like Sambar Deer,
Monkeys, Leopard, Sloth bear, spotted deer, blackbuck,
blue bull, hyena, mongoose and the Tiger.
