To arrange the given Tiger Reserves from North to South, we need to know their geographical locations:
1. Dudhwa Tiger Reserve: Located in Uttar Pradesh, near the border with Nepal (Northern India).
2. Panna Tiger Reserve: Located in Madhya Pradesh, north-eastern part of the state (Central India, generally north of Pench).
3. Pench Tiger Reserve: Located on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (Central India).
4. Indravati Tiger Reserve: Located in Chhattisgarh, in the southern part of the state (East-Central India, generally south of Pench).
Arranging these from North to South based on their general location: Dudhwa (Uttar Pradesh) is furthest north, followed by Panna (Madhya Pradesh), then Pench (Madhya Pradesh/Maharashtra), and finally Indravati (Chhattisgarh) in the south.
Thus, the order is 1, 2, 3, 4.
– Dudhwa is in Uttar Pradesh (North).
– Panna is in Madhya Pradesh (Central, relatively North).
– Pench is in Madhya Pradesh/Maharashtra (Central).
– Indravati is in Chhattisgarh (East-Central, South).
– The arrangement from North to South is Dudhwa, Panna, Pench, Indravati.
These Tiger Reserves are important conservation areas under Project Tiger in India. Their locations span different biogeographic zones, supporting diverse ecosystems and tiger populations.
