Founder of Dudhwa National Park
Billy Arjan Singh
Nestled in the Terai region of Uttar Pradesh, Dudhwa National Park is a pristine wilderness sanctuary that protects some of India’s most endangered species in their natural habitat.
When we talk about Dudhwa National Park, the name of Billy Arjan Singh shines the brightest. Known as India’s legendary wildlife conservationist, he was the driving force behind the creation of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve. Born in 1917, Billy dedicated his life to protecting the wildlife of the Terai region in Uttar Pradesh.
He played a key role in reintroducing the swamp deer (barasingha) and worked tirelessly for the survival of the Royal Bengal Tiger. In 1977, his efforts led to Dudhwa being declared a national park, and later it became part of Project Tiger in 1988.
One of his most famous projects was raising and releasing tigers like Tara into the wild, proving his unmatched commitment to conservation. His vision turned Dudhwa into a safe haven for endangered species, including the one-horned rhinoceros, reintroduced here in 1984.
Billy Arjan Singh’s work earned him global recognition, including the Padma Bhushan (2006) and the WWF Gold Medal (1976). Today, every jeep safari, tiger sighting, and conservation success story in Dudhwa is a tribute to his legacy.
