The Amchang Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary located on the eastern fringe of Guwahati, Assam, India. The sanctuary is known for hosting rare and endangered birds and animals. Amchang’s habitat is dominated by tropical moist deciduous forests with semi-evergreen forests in depressions and river valleys. It is known for its elephants which have become isolated with no movement with other elephant populations. The first published information about these elephants was found in 1985 There were depredations in the fringe areas, which are part of Guwahati city, the capital of Assam. It was acute as the pachyderms were confined to an isolated forest not very large.

Hence, a protected area was mooted. The wild elephants from Amchang often enter parts of Guwahati City but on a few occasions, they travel to the heart of the city. The sanctuary has other mammals such as the Chinese pangolin, slow loris, Assamese macaque, rhesus monkey, hoolock gibbon, leopard, leopard cat, jungle cat, sambar, barking deer, red serow, Malayan giant squirrel, crestless Himalayan porcupine. However, it is the presence of an isolated population of gaur or Indian “bison” that has added significance to Amchang.
