Out of many National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries is the Jim Corbett National Park , the place where it all started, the movement to protect and conserve the nature and wildlife from the increasing influence of humans , the hunter  turned conservationist  JIM CORBETT, played a key role in the establishment of a Natural Reserve for the endangered  Bengal Tiger,which would lead to the formation of India’s first National Park in 1936  called as Hailey National Park , which in 1957  was renamed to  Corbett National Park  in his honour.

 The Corbett National Park is situated in Ramnagar in the district of Nainital ,Uttarakhand ,located partly along a valley between Lesser Himalayas in north and the Shivaliks in the South  it  incorporates in itself  various species of plants and charismatic megafauna , led by the Bengal Tiger , Asian Elephants ,the Great  One – Horned Rhinoceros  and many more .

 Population of the wild tigers is around 4000  worlwide  , India being home to the worlds largest population of wild tigers which accounts to almost half the total , and Corbett National Park constituting  215 of them , which is highest in India .
