Nara Desert Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Mirpurkhas District, Sindh, Pakistan.{{Cite web|url=http://www.wildlifeofpakistan.com/sanctuaries.html|title = Protected Areas}}

The Nara desert provides refuge to much wildlife in the Sindh province. The Nara Canal area, a chain of some 200 freshwater, brackish and saline lakes and marshes stretching for about 150 km along either side of the Nara Canal from Sorah in the north to Sanghar in the south, is known to be of great importance for wintering waterfowl and other wildlife.

The largest population of the endangered Mugger crocodile in Pakistan is found here.{{Cite web |url=http://pique.pk/wildlife-sanctuaries-in-pakistan/ |title=Wildlife Sanctuaries in Pakistan | Pique Magazine |access-date=2017-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212161128/http://pique.pk/wildlife-sanctuaries-in-pakistan/ |archive-date=2017-12-12 |url-status=dead }}
