Until 1971, Pabitora was a 'Grazing Reserve' for the surrounding villages. It was declared a 'Reserved Forest' in November 1971, and covered an area of 15.84 kmy. As the population of Indian rhinos increased over the years, in 1987 the State Government of Assam upgraded Pabitora to 'Wildlife Sanctuary' status.
