Q32 (CDS-I/2017) Environment & Ecology › Biodiversity & Protected Areas › Tiger reserves management Answer Verified

With regard to ‘Project Tiger’, which one of the following statements is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Project Tiger was launched by the Government of India on April 1, 1973, to ensure the conservation of the endangered Bengal tiger [2]. The primary objectives of the project include maintaining a viable population of tigers for scientific, aesthetic, cultural, and ecological values, and preserving their habitats as a natural heritage [4]. Statement 4 is incorrect because there are several Tiger Reserves located in the north-eastern part of India. For instance, Assam hosts the Manas, Kaziranga, Nameri, and Orang Tiger Reserves [2]. Additionally, Arunachal Pradesh contains the Namdapha, Pakke, and Kamlang Tiger Reserves, while Mizoram is home to the Dampa Tiger Reserve [5]. These reserves are critical for protecting the tiger population in the diverse landscapes of Northeast India, contradicting the claim that no such reserves exist in the region.
