Radhanagari Biodiversity

Radhanagri Tehsil is a serene and nature-rich region located in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, widely known for its dense forests, peaceful villages, and agricultural lifestyle. The people of Radhanagri are simple, hardworking, and deeply connected to the land. Their lives revolve around farming, animal husbandry, and seasonal rhythms of the monsoon.

Most farmers here cultivate paddy (rice), millets, and pulses, while some also grow sugarcane and vegetables in smaller quantities.

During the monsoon, the fields turn lush green, and streams flow through the hills, painting a picture of raw beauty.

At the heart of Radhanagri lies the Radhanagri Wildlife Sanctuary, home to diverse species of birds, butterflies, amphibians, and even the majestic Indian Bison (Gaur). Locals share a deep bond with nature, respecting the forests and understanding their importance in maintaining balance. For visitors, Radhanagri offers not just a visual retreat but a chance to witness a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and coexistence with nature.
