Which of the following National Parks is renowned as the last natural refuge of the endangered Hangul (Kashmir stag)?

A. Jim Corbett National Park
B. Dachigam National Park✓ Correct Answer
C. Kaziranga National Park
D. Periyar National Park

💡 Solution & Explanation

Dachigam National Park, nestled in the Zabarwan Range of Jammu and Kashmir, provides the final viable natural habitat for the critically endangered Hangul subspecies. Other reserves like Jim Corbett or Kaziranga protect different flagship species such as the Bengal tiger and the one-horned rhinoceros. Associating the Kashmir stag with southern or eastern sanctuaries contradicts established biogeographical distribution maps. Intense conservation efforts remain crucial for saving this deer species from extinction.
