Cotigao ,wildlife sanctuary

Описание: History and Description
The Cotigao Wildlife sanctuary was set up in 1968 to protect the exposed stretch of woodland on the Goa-Karnataka border, which was home to a number of species of animal and bird life, as well as some rare, old trees.
The 86 sq.km stretch of woodland boasts impressively tall trees which reach up to 30m and whose branches obscure the sun. So dense is this patch of woods that the sunlight is merely able to dapple the forest floor. Most of the vegetation in this area is of the moist-deciduous type, interspersed with semi-evergreen and evergreen patches.
The residents of the forest are shy and do not often come out to inspect the visitors, but the area is a veritable feast for tree lovers and nature lovers with its abundance of vegetation and perennial streams.
