Dholpur-Karauli Tiger Reserve was declared in which year?

Explanation

Dholpur-Karauli Tiger Reserve was notified in 2023 as Rajasthan's fifth tiger reserve and covers parts of Dholpur and Karauli districts. The Rajasthan Forest Department page records notification number F3(20)FOREST/2023, dated 06.10.2023. The National Tiger Conservation Authority list also places the reserve in Rajasthan and records 2023 as its year. Ramgarh Vishdhari is recorded under 2022, while Dholpur-Karauli is the later entry. For RAS, remember its notification year, its sequence among Rajasthan's tiger reserves, and the two associated districts.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) 2019 is incorrect because the notification year recorded for Dholpur-Karauli Tiger Reserve is 2023.
• (B) 2022 is associated with Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve, whereas Dholpur-Karauli is recorded under 2023.
• (C) 2020 is incorrect because the notification year recorded for Dholpur-Karauli Tiger Reserve is 2023.

Concept

This question tests Rajasthan geography through protected areas and wildlife conservation, especially the notification sequence of tiger reserves. Questions on the districts associated with reserves and their declaration years recur in RAS.
