  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Manas Wildlife Sanctuary - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Manas Wildlife Sanctuary 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: India Inscribed in: 1985 Criteria: (vii) (ix) (x) On a gentle slope in the foothills of the Himalayas, where wooded hills give way to alluvial grasslands and tropical forests, the Manas sanctuary is home to a great variety of wildlife, including many endangered species, such as the tiger, pygmy hog, Indian rhinoceros and Indian elephant. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 SIGNIFICANT CONCERN The Manas Wildlife Sanctuary World Heritage Site has been the focus of long-term conservation concern and action. The property inscribed in 1985 was, seven years later, added to the World Heritage In Danger List in response to concerns linked to civil unrest and the degradation of natural values. Most alarming was the disappearance of Greater One-horned Rhinoceros from the property over a short 13-year period (1988- 2001). The site spent a total of 19 years on the List of World Heritage in Danger during which time recovery efforts saw the rhino numbers increase, including the birth of new rhinos within the property. Other species too are subject to recovery actions and, whilst the site remains fragile and population trend data limited, it appears that populations of some animals are generally recovering. Management actions have also been slowly improved through the sustained efforts of the State Party backed by significant international support. Nevertheless, there remain some serious threats significant concern, such as those from agricultural encroachment, impact from upstream hydro-electric projects in Bhutan, improper protection and management of grasslands, invasive plants as well as some amount of poaching.
