How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Statement: The hard-ground barasingha is a subspecies of the swamp deer and is found in Kanha National Park. (Correct)
- Statement: Translocation of animals to a new protected area is an example of in-situ conservation. (Correct; a species moved within its natural habitat range to another protected area)
- Statement: Swamp deer is listed in Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. (Correct)
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III Environment: Many grassland species are confined to a single site, which makes them vulnerable to disease and disasters. Translocation under Wildlife (Protection) Act and NTCA/WII guidance spreads that risk and, as in Satpura, can establish a second viable population. The way forward is protecting grassland habitat, scientific monitoring after release and community involvement, so that the model can be replicated in other protected areas.
