Valparai Anaimalai Tiger Reserve is located in the Coimbatore district. The Valparai Wildlife Sanctuary and the Manampalli Wildlife Sanctuary are rich in wildlife such as bears, leopards and elephants.

These wildlife have begun to move out of the dense forest and into populated areas in search of food. Many leopards are roaming around in Vazhaithottam in Valparai Nagar, MGR Nagar, Annamalai, Nadumalai Road Cooperative Colony and Kamaraj Nagar, Gaggan Colony. Leopard movement has increased in Valparai and bear attacks have also increased in tea estate areas.

Meanwhile, people are frightened to see leopards roaming with their cubs in a tea estate near a residential area in Kamaraj nagar in Valparai. The people of the area have demanded that the forest department take action to provide the necessary protection to the public.
