Wildlife sanctuaries, national parks & biodiversity conservation MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Todgarh Raoli Wildlife Sanctuary is in Rajasthan, in the Aravalli region around Ajmer, Pali and Rajsamand districts. Hence Rajasthan directly matches the sanctuary named in the question. Assam and West Bengal are eastern and north-eastern states with their own protected areas, but Todgarh Raoli is not located there. Chhattisgarh also has important forest and wildlife zones, yet it is not associated with this sanctuary. The name Todgarh Raoli is a Rajasthan geography marker, especially because of its Aravalli setting.

Rajasthan's tiger reserves are described as a chain rather than isolated boxes. Ranthambore, Sariska, Mukundara, Ramgarh Vishdhari and Dholpur-Karauli together explain the state's tiger geography. The corridor idea matters because tigers need prey, water, cover and safe movement outside the core area. Movement through buffer forests, ravines, riverine strips and village-edge landscapes. Therefore both statements express the same corridor logic given.

Protected-area questions in Rajasthan should be solved by matching the site with its district and habitat. Tal Chhapar Wildlife Sanctuary in Churu is specifically described as a high-yield example known for blackbuck and grassland habitat, not forest. Keoladeo is a wetland bird site at Bharatpur, the Desert National Park Sanctuary is linked with Godawan and the Thar desert, and the National Ghariyal Sanctuary is tied to Chambal river stretches. Therefore the correct match is Tal Chhapar with blackbuck grassland.

The Godawan is a flagship example of desert and grassland conservation. Desert National Park Sanctuary protects sandy plains, dunes, sewan grassland and sparse desert vegetation, and Godawan is the flagship species. Open grassland is often wrongly treated as wasteland, even though it supports bustards and many other dryland species and livelihoods. Thus the reason correctly explains the assertion: conserving Godawan requires conserving its open grassland and desert habitat.

Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur is presented as Rajasthan's classic wetland bird habitat. There are two fixed recognition years: it became one of India's first Ramsar sites in 1981, and it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 for its outstanding wetland bird habitat. The cue is the wetland-bird identity of Keoladeo, not tiger conservation or Godawan conservation. Hence the correct recognition pair is Ramsar in 1981 and UNESCO World Heritage in 1985.
