A Green Munia plaque was inaugurated by the DFO Sirohi Sangram Singh Katiya on this occasion. Every year wildlife awareness week which lasts from 1 Oct to the 7 of Oct is taken very seriously by the folks of this small hill station.
Large-scale changes have occurred during the last few decades. Mount Abu jungles were once impenetrable and substantial areas were pretty impossible to explore. Tigers which roamed freely were hunted down by the elite. Their natural habitat was destroyed and their source of food dwindled resulting in their disappearing from this area. The last tiger reported in Mt.Abu was placed in the year 1970.

Today Abu boasts of only a handful of Leopards. Sambar which was plentiful is today almost a lost cause. Very few have been strong enough to survive the onslaught of Modernisation and the degradation of their native environment. The only marked improvement in its population is the sloth bear. The presence of vegetational composition and availability of water Highly suits bears and it is one of the best sloth bear areas in the world.
I do not have the latest statistical data of the wildlife census, of the animals found here but as soon as I get them I'll post them
