As an attempt of biodiversity conservation, the author documents the floral and faunal species in the Dudhwa National park. Most of the species of the park are identified and enlisted by the author as a part of the tiger census conducted by a dual collaboration of Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and Wildlife Institute of India (WII). Dudhwa is located in Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh (UP). The park is divided into seven ranges and four to seven beats as per the records of forest department. Total core area equals 614 sq km, of which 300 sq km is taken as the study area, neglecting the periphery and village close area. Mixed forest (Sal-Jamun) and Phanta (grassland) occupies the survey area.
