Dhakal said many foreign tourists also come here for carrying out research study on the flora and fauna of the Reserve. Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve is home to the swamp deer, tiger, rhino, spotted deer, elephant and 300 various bird species. The Reserve covers a large tract of savannah land, the largest such grassland in the country. It also has wetland area as well as historic place. Water systems like ponds and lakes in the Chitwan National Park (CNP) are drying up due to a long dry spell, which could deal a blow to wildlife and other aquatic animals. There are 56 lakes and ponds in the CNP area. Nurendra Aryal,
