Your answer:  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: Doyang Lake in Nagaland is a crucial stopover for Amur Falcons during their annual migration. Following reports of mass hunting in 2012, sustained community-led conservation efforts, particularly by the residents of Pangti village, transformed the region into a safe haven, earning Nagaland the title "Falcon Capital of the World."

Statement 2 is incorrect: Advanced tracking technologies (like satellite tagging) are used by scientists to study and map the migration routes of Amur Falcons. They do not "guide" the birds back to their stopover sites; the birds rely on their natural navigational instincts.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Amur Falcons are not permanent residents of India. They are long-distance migratory birds that breed in eastern Asia (including Mongolia and Siberia) and migrate to Southern Africa for the winter, using Northeast India merely as a stopover to rest and roost.
