Ramnabagan Zoological Park

Ramnabagan Wildlife Sanctuary is in Bardhaman, West Bengal, India. The animals found include spotted deer and common langur. Ramnabagan Mini Zoo in the Ramnabagan Wildlife Sanctuary spread over an area of 14.31 hectares is in Mouza Baburbag in Burdwan. This forest patch is under the control of Divisional Forest Officer, Burdwan Division who acts as Ex-Officio Director of the Zoo. The area was declared as reserved forest in 1960. In 1978, the area had been converted to a deer park with the introduction of six spotted deer.

Subsequently, the whole area has been declared a wildlife sanctuary. Later on, subsequently a mini Zoo was approved by Central Zoo Authority within the Wildlife Sanctuary area. This Zoo has been renamed as Bardhaman Zoological Park and it has been recognized as a Small Category Zoo. Ramnabagan forest, with its tall and stately teak and sal forest having mesophytic associates like kadbels, dumur, jam, etc., is a solace from the din and bustle of urban life
