History
Sanctuary Asia was founded in 1981 by its current editor, the conservationist, Bittu Sahgal as Sanctuary to raise awareness among Indians of their disappearing natural heritage. It became a syndicated publication under the banner of Sanctuary Features. Presently, the magazine is attractively packaged with colored photographs, and an associated website. Starting with the February 2012 issue, Sanctuary Asia is increasing the number of pages and fully revamping its visual format. They also announced the Wild Maharashtra photography contest in that issue.

The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
