Orang's main problem is that it cannot be expanded in size. On the north and east sides of the Sanctuary are Bengali villages, while on the south and west sides Orang is being eroded by the Brahmaputra and Dhansiri rivers, respectively. Due to the Forest Department's severe cut-back in funds in 1993, repair work since the last floods has been minimal, and much maintenance is needed.
