Sanjay Gandhi National Park
Sanjay Gandhi national park has played home to many poachers in the recent years. Usually, leopards are attacked. In many cases these animals had been poisoned, and claws or other valuable body parts were cut off and sold. Poaching could soon wipe out Mumbai's leopard population.
Silent Valley National Park
The national park is one of the last undisturbed tracts of South Western Ghats mountain rain forests and tropical moist evergreen forest in India. Contiguous with the proposed Karimpuzha National Park () to the north and Mukurthi National Park (78.46 km) to the north-east, it is the core of the Nilgiri International Biosphere Reserve (1,455.4 km), and is part of the Nilgiri Sub-Cluster (6,000 km), Western Ghats World Heritage Site, recognised by UNESCO in 2007.
