The park fared well during the 1930s under an elected administration. But, during the Second World War, it suffered from excessive poaching and timber cutting. Over time, the area in the reserve was increased—797.72km 2 (308.00sqmi) were added in 1991 as a buffer zone to the Corbett Tiger Reserve. [10] The 1991 addition included the entire Kalagarh forest division, assimilating the 301.18km 2 (116.29sqmi) area of Sonanadi Wildlife Sanctuary as a part of the Kalagarh division. [10] It was chosen in 1974 as the location for launching the Project Tiger wildlife conservation project. [12] The reserve is administered from its headquarters in the Nainital district. [9]

[8] The altitude of the region ranges between 360m (1,181ft) and 1,040m (3,412ft). [3] It has numerous ravines, ridges, minor streams and small plateaus with varying aspects and degrees of slope.

As early as 1991, the Corbett National Park played host to 3237 tourist vehicles carrying 45,215 visitors during the main tourist seasons between 15 November and 15 June. [4] This heavy influx of tourists has led to visible stress signs on the natural ecosystem. [4] Excessive trampling of soil due to tourist pressure has led to reduction in plant species and has also resulted in reduced soil moisture. [4] The tourists have increasingly used fuel wood for cooking. [4] This is a cause of concern as this fuel wood is obtained from the nearby forests, resulting in greater pressure on the forest ecosystem of the park. [4] Additionally, tourists have also caused problems by making noise, littering and causing disturbances in general. [19] The habitat of the reserve faces threats from invasive species such as the exotic weeds Lantana, Parthenium and Cassia. [10] Natural resources like trees and grasses are exploited by the local population while encroachment of at least of 13.62ha (0.05sqmi) by 74 families has been recorded. [10] Some areas of the park were formerly part of the princely state of Tehri Garhwal. [8] The forests were cleared by the Environment and Forests Department (Uttarakhand) to make the area less vulnerable to Rohilla invaders. [8] The Raja of Tehri formally ceded a part of his princely state to the East India Company in return for their assistance in ousting the Gurkhas from his domain. [8] The Buksas—a tribe from the Terai—settled on the land and began growing crops, but in the early 1860s they were evicted with the advent of British rule.
