As many as 28 species of mammals, 78 species of birds, 16 species of reptiles and 25 species of dominant flora have been recorded during the present study. Chinkara, wolf, desert fox, marbled teal, houbara bustard, grey partridge, imperial sand grouse and white-backed vulture are the key species of the area. The area is under development and gas exploration activities. A management plan for the sanctuary is urgently required to be prepared and implemented.
