What are National Parks?
A National Park is a protected area constituted for the protection and conservation of wildlife. They are
declared in areas that are considered to be of adequate ecological, geomorphological and natural significance.
National Parks in India are declared under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
They are IUCN category II protected areas.
There are 104 national parks in India as of 2019.
Hailey National Park (presently known as Jim Corbett National Park), established in 1936 is India’s first
National Park.
