Chitwan National Park History:
The Chitwan National Park is certainly a fascinating reserve that protects an area of 932 square km (360 square miles). Until the 1950s, this huge extended grassland of Chitwan was accessible only by foot or horse. Chitwan is inhabited by the local communities of THARU who are truly known as the aborigines of Nepal.
Legend speaks of Tharus winning over the fatal disease of MALARIA with their gifted natural resistance to survive such fatalities. Though Chitwan was declared a National Park of Nepal in 1973, however, until the late 19th Century it served as a Hunting ground for the Nepali and Foreign Aristocrat people.
It is believed that hundreds of wild animals that literally populated the Chitwan jungle, especially Tigers, Rhinos, Leopards, and Bears were hunted for fun, snobbery, and their royal dignity.
Besides, in the late 1950s people from the hills swarmed down to Chitwan in search of suitable farmlands. This migration eventually led to the clearance of a massive area of Chitwan forest and poaching became rampant. As a result, there was a considerable decline in the number of Tigers, Rhinos, and birds with the loss of their habitat.
Fortunately, in the year 1984, Chitwan was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list with things improved remarkably since then. In 2008, a Vulture breeding center was introduced to conserve the declining vulture population in Nepal.
Sadly, the starting of the Maoist insurgency with the government of Nepal which started from 1996 until 2006 made a huge impact on the Chitwan habitat. This 11 years of Maoist insurgency led to the disappearance of countless animals from the Park. Nepal's army was more preoccupied with the Civil War than tracing the poachers.
Furthermore, due to the lack of a defense mechanism against floods during 3 and ½ months of monsoon season, every year we lose ample animals in Chitwan.
