Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1, 3 and 4 only

The correct answer is 1, 3 and 4 only.

  • Tiger Reserves: 
    • Project Tiger was launched by the Government of India in the year 1973 to save the endangered species of tiger in the country. 
      • Starting from nine (9) reserves in 1973-2019 the number is grown up to fifty (50).
      •  A total area of 71027.10 km2 is covered by these Project Tiger areas.
    • Recently, the Central government has given its approval for the creation of a fifth tiger reserve in Tamil Nadu that will encompass the Meghamalai and Srivilliputhur Grizzled Squirrel Wildlife Sanctuaries.
    • Bandipur, Manas and Sunderban are declared Tiger reserve, but Bhittarkanika is not included. Hence, 1, 3 and 4 is the correct answer.
