The Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary in Sonitpur district of Assam,
northeastern India is on the path of extinction due to the negligence of the
Forest Department. In 1998, at the time of declaration it was 22,000 ha but now
it has shrunk to 13,400 ha due to forest encroachment. Similarly in Jammu and
Kashmir, illegal construction had been decreasing the forest areas but the
shops and a restaurant nearby have been demolished now to regain the forest
land.
