Q127 (IAS/2005) Environment & Ecology › Biodiversity & Protected Areas › National parks network Answer Verified

Match List-I (National Park/Wildlife Sanctuary) with List-II (State) and select the correct answer using the code given below the list

List I | List II
(A) Bondle Wildlife Sanctuary | (1) Orissa
(B) Kangerghat National Park | (2) Assam
(C) Orang Sanctuary | (3) Chhattisgarh
(D) Ushakothi Wildlife Sanctuary | (4) Goa
| (5) Tripura

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1). This matching accurately aligns the protected areas with their respective states based on geographical location:

  • (A) Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary (4 - Goa): It is the smallest but most popular sanctuary in Goa, known for its botanical garden and deer park.
  • (B) Kangerghat National Park (3 - Chhattisgarh): Also known as Kanger Valley National Park, it is located in the Bastar district and is famous for its limestone caves and the Bastar Hill Myna.
  • (C) Orang Sanctuary (2 - Assam): Often called "Mini Kaziranga," the Orang National Park/Sanctuary is situated on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River.
  • (D) Ushakothi Wildlife Sanctuary (1 - Orissa): Also known as Badrama Sanctuary, it is located in the Sambalpur district of Odisha (formerly Orissa).

Other options are incorrect because they mismatch these established locations; for instance, placing Orang in Tripura or Bondla in Assam contradicts factual geographical data.
