Chilla Wildlife Sanctuary, not a very big sanctuary as compared to the others has great value in terms of its wild animals largely about elephants. Chilla alone harbors about a third of the State's elephant population. Hence the proposal to establish them as Rajaji National Park and link it up with Corbett National Park by means of elephant corridors. This will involve the construction of two special bridges over the recently-made Chilla Power Canal and the protection of suitable intervening forest habitat. Gujars are in the process of being resettled inaccordance with national park policy (Gupta, 1986). A recent study suggests, however, that the Gujars have not had such a detrimental effect on their habitat as is commonly believed.
