Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary in Coorg, Karnataka, India, covers an area of 102.59 square km in the Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot. Established in 1987, it's home to lush forests, rolling hills, and an impressive array of flora and fauna. The sanctuary's terrain is rugged, with steep hills and deep valleys. Evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, as well as shola grasslands, dominate the landscape, making it an ecological haven. Pushpagiri is the habitat for several endangered species, including the Malabar Giant Squirrel and birds like the Nilgiri Flycatcher. Trekkers often visit Kumara Parvatha, the second-highest peak in Coorg, located within the sanctuary. It represents a significant conservation site, not just for its wildlife but also for its role in preserving watersheds of critical rivers. The sanctuary's natural beauty and its significance in supporting the Western Ghats ecosystem make it a valuable spot for conservationists, nature lovers, and photographers.
