Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 points1. In the context of ecology, ‘Land Footprint’ refers to:
Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
• Land footprint is a consumption-based indicator, i.e. it looks at the resources needed to create a final product, or by an organisation or country, wherever they are in the world. Ecological footprint is measured using a different approach, with two key differences to land footprint: Ecological footprint adds together both real land use and an calculated (but not really existing) area of forest to absorb CO2 emissions, to incorporate part of the impacts of climate change. In contrast, land footprint looks only at real land use, and is often used in association with carbon footprint to cover all climate changing emissions Ecological footprint adjusts land areas to global hectares, while land footprint is based on real land area – or an estimate of it.
Hence, the correct option is (D)Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 points2. Which of the following pairs about the locations of tiger reserves are correctly matched?
TIGER RESERVE – LOCATION
1. Mukundara – Odisha
2. Sanjay Dhubri – Uttar Pradesh
3. Satkosia – Madhya Pradesh
4. Udanti Sitanadi – Chhattisgarh
5. Dampa – Mizoram
Select the correct answer using the code given below:Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
● Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve (Rajasthan):is named after two continuous flat topped, almost parallel hills with narrow central ridges, forming part of the Vindhya range and extending from river Chambal to Kalisindh. The tiger reserve was constituted in the year 2013 which encompasses the area of Mukundra National Park, Dara Sanctuary, Jawahar Sagar Sanctuary and part of Chambal Sanctuary, forming its core / critical tiger habitat. The forests of Kota, Chittorgarh and Jhalawar are included in the buffer.
● The Sanjay-Dubri tiger reserve(Madhya Pradesh) It consists of Sanjay National Park and Dubri Sanctuary along with buffer areas taken from Sidhi and Shahdol districts. It is situated on the north eastern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh. The reserve is part of the Bandhavgarh-Sanjay-Guru Ghasidas-Palamau landscape, and has been identified as one of four potential tiger meta-populations landscapes which require conservation inputs.
● Satkosia Tiger Reserve is located in the heartland of Odisha and spread over four districts viz. Angul, Cuttack, Boudh and Nayagarh. The terrain is hilly with moderate to steep slopes and narrow valleys. The river Mahanadi flows through the valleys in the mid of the Reserve.● The Udanti-Sitanadi Tiger Reserve(Chattisgarh) It is a small but an important Wildlife Sanctuary (WLS) located in the Gariyaband district of Chhattisgarh. Apart from having good habitat for tigers, it is also contiguous to Khariar Forest Division of Odisha State and acts as Buffer for Sunabeda WLS. Hence, the location of the reserve becomes significant since it shares its boundary with another proposed tiger reserve forming one (Chhattisgarh-Odisha) Tiger Conservation Unit.
● Dampa Tiger Reserve is in the western limit of Mizoram. On the West, the reserve is bound by the Chittagong hill tracts (Sazek hill range) of Bangladesh. The terrain is hilly with elevation ranging from 49 to 1095 m. above mean sea level. The tract is dissected by numerous drainages.Incorrect
