Consider the following pairs of wildlife sanctuaries in Assam and their primary conservation species: 1. Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary - Western hoolock gibbon 2. Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary - Greater one-horned rhinoceros 3. Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary - Bengal florican. Which of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

💡 Solution & Explanation

All three pairs are accurately matched: the Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary in Jorhat protects India's only ape species the hoolock gibbon, Pobitora in Morigaon boasts the highest density of Indian rhinoceroses, and Bura Chapori serves as a vital alluvial grassland habitat for the endangered Bengal florican. Incorrect options would mismatch these specialized sanctuaries with unrelated fauna. These reserves form an integral network of protected habitats managed by the Assam Forest Department.
