Anshi National Park

In December 2015, Dandeli Anshi Tiger reserve was renamed to Kali Tiger Reserve(JOIDA).[3] The river Kali is the lifeline of the people of Uttara Kannada district and integrates Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary (DWS) spread across 400 km2 and Anshi National Park (ANP) spread across 500 km2. The river cuts across the whole park and the renaming has given the area a single identity. The change of name was also to bring focus and awareness to Kali River (Karnataka). The name change was prompted following a universal response from policymakers after the release of the movie Kali[4][5] which brought to importance the role of Kali River to the ecosystem.
