One of the 27 Tiger reserves in India, Periyar is the oldest and perhaps the best guarded and managed one. Declared a forest reserve in 1899, it became a sanctuary in 1934, assuming the name Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in 1950 and became part of Project Tiger in 1978. As per the last count, there are about 35-40 tigers here.
