ABSTRACT Field Survey was carried out in early morning and evening hours to estimate the existing biodiversity of Mammals in Semarsot Sanctuary in Balrampur area. Balrampur Semarsot Sanctuary harbors wide variety of Mammals variation in food availability in different season affected the Mammals diversity in the study area. This habitat attracted 10 Mammals Species. Many of the Mammals are in pairs. So that their breeding properly in this area. They survey result indicate large number of Species of species:- scrota (Family:- Suidae) Sus scrofa (Wild Boar) which can adapt themselves in the environment of Sanctuary area. KEYWORDS: sanctuary, Setganga, diversity, Mammals. INTRODUCTION Like forests, wildlife is also a national resource, which not only helps in maintaining the ecological balance but is also beneficial from economic, recreational and aesthetic points of view, there was a time when human interference was minimum the number of wild animals was quit high and there was no problem of their protection or conservation, with the expansion of agriculture, settlement, Industrial and other developmental activities and mainly due to greed of man, the number of wild animals gradually became lesser and lesser with the result that several species of animals have become extinct and several, other are on the verge of being so. Since the Descriptions of all known extant species and general characteristics of each species group are reviewed, and hybridization between the different Vol 6, Issue 7,

2 species discussed. Details are given of the geographic distribution of all species, including the habitats utilized by Fooden, J. (1975) Biodiversity Biodiversity is most commonly used to replace to more clearly defined and long established terms, species diversity and species richness. Study Area Sanctuary datails chhattisgarh madhya pradesh, uttar pradesh and the northan border semarsot sanctuary Jharkhand is located in the Border district of Balrampur, the name is derived from the sanctuary semarsot vankhand 58 miles east of Ramanujganj gram. semarsot name (which is no longer in existence) which is large enough to pass through the valley around -2 semal Ramanujganj main route between sanctuary semarsot passes from Ambikapur, the year in which traffic moves 24 hours, and only 60 km from the district Headquarters Ambikapur Due to the distance to reach the reserve best of sight sanctuary of inner area is to visit, excluding rain. It belongs to the sanctuary surguja vanvrit East sarguja, vanmandal, currently set for to enclaves kodura and balrampur and is headquartered Kodura the total occupied area of 430,361 sq km. semarshot sanctuary in which 73 reserve is protected.

4 MATERIALS AND METHODS Selection of Site Semarshot Sanctuary Jharkhand is located in the Border Distric of Balrampur, semarsot sanctuary vankhand 58 miles east of Ramanujganj gram. The atmosphere and environment of Balrampur district (C.G) is very good for any research work we can early observe and Identity the Mammals for our project and do my work. Photography Photography of Mammals is largely a macro lens or adequate lens in necessary for successfully capturing many species image in inefficient. Equipment Mammals activities are often rewarded using the latest digital camera safest way to photography, Mammals is never to touch them. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Total 10 Species of Mammals in Semarsot sanctuary area found during the study period, which were listed below in Table 1. Fig:5. Sus scrofa (Wild Boar) Fig:6. Panthera pardus (Indian Leopard) Fig:7. Melursus ursinus( Sloth Bear) Vol 6, Issue 7,

Common Animals found(mammals) in Semarsot Sanctuary order in Balrampur District (C.G) area (April 2017) CONCLUSION S.No. Order Number of animals 1. Artiodactyla = Carnivore = Primates = 68 Total 461 = 00 It concludes from the survey that Semarsot Sanctuary area the special place Where the Mammals can be conserved them by natural environment. One of the main issues in our study is the different ability of Mammals species to tolerate environment stress such as pollution and how this ability is connected to their diet. REFERENCES 1.
