History of Satpura National Park<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Captain James Forsyth of the Bengal Lancers first explored the area and land that is now the Satpura National Park in 1862. When the concerned authorities recognized the ecological and commercial value of the area's vast expanses of lush green forests, they decided to declare it a reserve forest. The state government then designated the area as a National Park and Sanctuary in order to focus more attention on conserving the ecosystem's faunal and floral wealth.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
