India’s sole floating national park, covering 40 square kilometres, serves as a sanctuary for a rare and endangered deer species.
India’s only floating national park spans 40 square kilometres of wetland, a unique ecosystem that supports a range of flora and fauna.
The park’s water‑logged landscape provides a critical habitat for the rare and endangered deer species that are found nowhere else in the country.
Conservationists say the park’s protected status helps safeguard the deer’s breeding grounds and feeding areas from encroachment.
Authorities are working to monitor the population and promote sustainable tourism that raises awareness about the park’s ecological importance.
