About Biosphere Reserves, National Parks & Sanctuaries

This quiz is meant for students preparing for the IAS examination and other competitive tests, and for anyone who wants a thorough, well-rounded understanding of India's named Biosphere Reserves, National Parks and Sanctuaries, going beyond the conceptual and legal coverage of earlier quizzes in this SuperCategory to the actual named sites themselves. It begins with India's eighteen Biosphere Reserves. A second pack covers major National Parks of North and North-East India, such as Corbett, Kaziranga and Manas. A third pack covers major National Parks of Central, West and South India, such as Kanha, Gir and the tri-state tiger landscape of Bandipur, Nagarhole and Mudumalai. A fourth pack covers named Wildlife Sanctuaries, from bird sanctuaries to desert and mangrove habitats. A fifth pack covers Project Tiger's original nine Tiger Reserves in detail. It closes with Marine National Parks, UNESCO natural World Heritage Sites, and a synthesis tying the whole quiz together. When complete it will have one hundred and twenty carefully checked questions, arranged in six packs of twenty.

Every question has four options, and the correct option can be in any position. After each question there is a detailed explanation of more than five lines, in simple Indian English that a school student can follow, giving the important names, figures and the points that examiners like to test.

Every fact has been checked against standard reference material on India's named protected areas, current as of this quiz's preparation.
