National parks are notified under Section 35; sanctuary declaration and final notification are linked with Sections 18 and 26A; conservation reserves use Section 36A; and community reserves use Section 36C. Therefore, the correct match is A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1.
Q2Consider the following statements about protected-area categories: 1. A tiger reserve may include national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserve forests. 2. A biosphere reserve is legally identical to a national park. 3. Ramsar recognition by itself amounts to notification of a national park under Indian law. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only statement 1 is correct. A tiger reserve can contain several legal land categories, including national parks, sanctuaries and reserve forests. A biosphere reserve follows a core-buffer-transition model and may contain multiple legal categories; it is not a national park. Ramsar status identifies an internationally important wetland and may overlap with a park or sanctuary, but it is not itself a national-park notification.
