Kanha National Park was created on June 1, 1955 and was designated as a Kanha Tiger Sanctuary in 1973, and now stretches over 940 km square in two areas, Mandla and Balaghat. This national park is a home to the Royal Bengal Tiger, Sloth Bear, Indian Leopard, Indian Wild Dog, Barasingha, and many other species.

Kanha National Park and WWF- India continue to work towards maintaining and flourishing the tiger population.
