National parks in India are IUCN category II protected

areas. India's rst national park was established in 1936
as Hailey National Park, now known as Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand. By 1970, India only had ve
national parks. In 1972, India enacted the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger to safeguard the habitats of
conservation reliant species. Further federal legislation
strengthening protections for wildlife was introduced in
the 1980s. As of April 2012, there were 112 national
parks. All national park lands then encompassed a total
39,919 km2 (15,413 sq mi) , comprising 1.21% of Indias
total surface area.
