UPSC 2017: From the ecological point of view, which one of the following assumes importance in being a good link between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats ?
(a)Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve
(b)Nallamala Forest
(c)Nagarhole National Park
(d)Seshachalam Biosphere Reserve
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Nallamala Forest
Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve lies at the junction of the Nilgiri ranges of the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats and functions as a vital wildlife corridor that allows gene-flow between the two mountain systems. The other options are located wholly on one side: Nallamala (Eastern Ghats), Nagarhole (Western Ghats) and Seshachalam (Eastern Ghats), so they do not serve as an inter-Ghats linkage.
