'''Sardarpur Wildlife Sanctuary''' is a protected area located in [[Dhar district]], of Madhya Pradesh in India. It was officially notified in 1983. Originally, the sanctuary spanned approximately 348 km² (34,800 ha). The landscape is dominated by open grasslands with patches of scrub and seasonal wetlands habitats. The sanctuary was created primarily to protect the critically endangered bird [[Lesser Florican]] (''Sypheotides indicus'') locally known as '''kharmour'''.<br />
<br />
In recent years the Government cleared a reorganisation of the protected area that involved denotification of most of the earlier revenue land and the notification of a much smaller forestland area (about 16.82 km²) to remain as sanctuary.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-09-23 |title=Sardarpur Wildlife Sanctuary - WildTrails {{!}} The One-Stop Destination for all your Wildlife Holidays |url=https://wildtrails.in/sardarpur-wildlife-sanctuary/ |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=wildtrails.in |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Shafi |first=Sanavver |date=2025-04-25 |title=MP shrinks Sardarpur Sanctuary to balance conservation and rights |url=https://www.groundreport.in/groundreport/villages-near-sardarpur-sanctury-to-be-exempted-8998394/ |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=Ground Report |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bhat |first=Wahid |date=2024-11-19 |title=Second bird survey in Sardarpur Sanctuary unveils 24 new species |url=https://www.groundreport.in/biodiversity/sardarpur-bird-sanctuary-survey-unveils-24-new-bird-species-7584578/ |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=Ground Report |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bharat |first=E.
