There are more than 2000 species of fauna that can be found in Tamil Nadu.[1] This rich wildlife is attributed to the diverse relief features as well as favorable climate and vegetation in the Indian state.[2] Recognizing the state's role in preserving the current environment, the state government has established several wildlife and bird sanctuaries as well as national parks, which entail stringent protective measures. Tamil Nadu is also included in the International Network of Biosphere Reserves, which facilitates international recognition and additional funding.[3] There are five national parks and 17 sanctuaries that serve as homes to the wildlife.
