दक्कन के पठार में अपनी खास भौगोलिक स्थिति की वजह से तेलंगाना को अनूठी जलवायु मिली हुई है। यह जलवायु और यहां का मौसम पेड़-पौधों और वन्य प्राणियों के लिए खासा अनुकूल माना जाता है। समूचे इलाके में कई वन्यजीव अभयारण्य हैं, कुछ टाइगर रिजर्व भी हैं और पक्षी अभयारण्य भी। इनमें कई तो बहुत पुराने हैं और कई महत्वपूर्ण भी। हालांकि तेलंगाना के वन्य अभायरण्यों या टाइगर रिजर्वों को उस तरह की ख्याति नहीं मिली जितनी मध्य भारत में बाकी राज्यों- खास तौर पर कर्नाटक, मध्य प्रदेश और महाराष्ट्र के टाइगर रिजर्वों को मिली लेकिन इसके बावजूद उनकी अहमियत किसी सूरत में कम नहीं हो जाती। सैलानियों के नजरिये से देखा जाए तो ऐसे अभयारण्यों को घूमने में कम आनंद है जहां सैलानी सफारी करने के लिए टूटे पड़ते हैं। जंगल को कम शोर-शराबे और सुकून में देखने का ही लुत्फ ज्यादा है और यह तेलंगाना के जंगलों में बखूब...
