- Wildlife corridors and protected areas are legally and conceptually identical.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 4 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2, 3 and 4 only
Answer: A
Explanation: Panbari is one of the nine identified corridors connecting the Kaziranga landscape with the Karbi Anglong Hills. The newspaper highlighted its omission from the detailed portion of the notification. A wildlife corridor is not synonymous with a protected area.
Q14. Which of the following pairs of wildlife corridors and their conservation significance is/are correctly matched?
- Panbari — Wildlife movement between Kaziranga and Karbi Anglong landscape
- Haldhibari — One of the nine identified corridors
- Amguri — One of the nine identified corridors

A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2 and 3 only
Answer: A
Explanation: The nine corridors reported in the Assam Government’s notification include Panbari, Haldhibari, Bagori, Harmati, Kanchanjuri, Hatidandi, Deosur, Chirang and Amguri.
Q15. Consider the following statements regarding wildlife corridors:
- They help maintain ecological connectivity between fragmented habitats.
- They can facilitate seasonal movement of elephants and other wildlife.
- Infrastructure such as highways can create bottlenecks in animal movement.
- Conservation of a wildlife corridor is unnecessary once the adjoining national park is legally protected.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 4 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 2, 3 and 4 only
Answer: A
Explanation: Wildlife cannot always remain within protected-area boundaries. Corridors provide landscape connectivity, including movement routes for elephants. Roads and highways can fragment these routes. Hence protecting only the national park without maintaining connectivity is inadequate.
Q16. The conservation significance of the Kaziranga–Karbi Anglong landscape is best explained by which of the following?
A. It connects lowland floodplain habitats with adjoining hill landscapes, providing wildlife access to alternative habitats, particularly during floods.
B. It prevents all natural movement of wildlife outside Kaziranga National Park.
C. It is primarily intended to facilitate expansion of urban settlements around Kaziranga.
D. It eliminates the need for human-wildlife conflict management in Assam.
Answer: A
Explanation: Kaziranga’s annual flooding makes access to higher terrain particularly important for wildlife. Connectivity with the Karbi Anglong hills therefore has major ecological and disaster-resilience significance. The corridor issue also illustrates the tension between infrastructure/development and habitat connectivity.
