Sardarpur Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area located in Dhar district, of Madhya Pradesh in India. It was officially notified in 1983. Originally, the sanctuary spanned approximately 348 km² (34,800 ha). The landscape is dominated by open grasslands with patches of scrub and seasonal wetlands ha
bitats. The sanctuary was created primarily to protect the critically endangered bird Lesser Florican (Sypheotides indicus) locally known as kharmour. In recent years the Government cleared a reorganisation of the protected area that involved denotification of most of the earlier revenue land and the notification of a much smaller forestland area (about 16.82 km²) to remain as sanctuary.
