WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES Wildlife sanctuaries are areas which are set for
the proliferation for animals and plants living therein by ensuring
that the habitat is not damaged. When we talk of animals here
we do not mean the higher mammals alone, but all living species
other than plants from the tiniest ants and beetle to the largest
herbivore, the elephant. This will include even germs, fungi
and bacteria. In Goa, we have one National Park, one bird sanctuary
and five wildlife sanctuaries the largest being the Bhagwan
Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary. The areas under these are as given
