It is a part of the Laokhowa-Burachapori ecosystem consisting of moist alluvial grasslands, coastal and semi-evergreen forests formed by wetlands and river systems.
Spread over an area of 44.06 sq km, the sanctuary is home to one-horned rhinoceros, tiger, panther, wild buffalo, hog deer, wild boar, endangered Bengal florican, black-necked stork, mallard, open bill stork, teal and whistling duck.
The wetlands located within the wildlife sanctuary make it an ideal breeding ground for many species of migratory birds during the winter season.
