Best answer

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Panna Tiger Reserve

The correct answer is Panna Tiger Reserve.

Madhya Pradesh’s Panna National Park has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

UNESCO’s recognition cited PTR as a critical tiger habitat.
Every year UNESCO appoints new biosphere reserves and removes others to promote the conservation of biodiversity, resolve the man-animal conflict at that site and allow sustainable use of natural resources.
The idea of the biosphere reserve was initiated by UNESCO in 1974 under the MAB with the objective of obtaining international cooperation for the conservation of the biospheres.
MAB combines the natural and social sciences, economics and education to improve human livelihoods and the equitable sharing of benefits, and to safeguard natural and managed ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that are socially and culturally appropriate, and environmentally sustainable.
