The project would cover all 30 districts, including places such as Bhramagiri, Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuaries, Daroji Bear Sanctuary, Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary, Shettyhalli-Sharavathi Sanctuary, Talacauvery, Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary and Kudremukh National Park, Rai said.
Meanwhile, the minister said no wildlife has died due to foot and mouth disease in wildlife sanctuaries of the state.
Department officials have been instructed to take all precautionary steps to prevent the spread of disease in sanctuaries, he said.
More than 2000 cows died due to the disease in various districts, official sources said.
