Kutch Bustard Sanctuary

Kutch Bustard Sanctuary, also known as Lala-Parjan Sanctuary, is a small protected grassland near Naliya in Abdasa Taluka of Kutch district, Gujarat. Established in 1992 and covering about 2.03 square kilometres, it is considered the smallest wildlife sanctuary in India. It was created to conserve the endangered Great Indian Bustard and supports other grassland birds, mammals and reptiles in an arid scrub and grassland landscape.

Visitors can expect an open arid grassland and scrub landscape with sparse vegetation, fenced core areas and watch points. The sanctuary is known for birdwatching, especially for the Great Indian Bustard, lesser florican, harriers and other grassland birds, along with sightings of wolves, jackals, chinkara and reptiles. There are no major built structures inside; visits involve walking or slow driving along tracks with a forest guide after obtaining permission.

Notified in July 1992 by the Government of Gujarat as a dedicated sanctuary for the Great Indian Bustard, a critically endangered grassland bird. With an area of about 2.03 sq km, it is documented as the smallest wildlife sanctuary in India, created to protect the bustard's breeding habitat in the Abdasa grasslands of Kutch.
