The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Sikkim’s rich biodiversity is protected through a network of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, community-managed forests, and botanical gardens.
- National parks and wildlife sanctuaries are areas of land or water that are set aside for the protection of wildlife. They are managed by the government and have strict rules about what activities are allowed.
- Community-managed forests are forests that are managed by local communities. The communities have a say in how the forests are used and they are responsible for protecting them.
- Botanical gardens are gardens that are used for the study of plants. They often have a large collection of plants from different parts of the world.
All of these different types of protected areas play an important role in protecting Sikkim’s rich biodiversity.
National parks and wildlife sanctuaries provide a safe haven for wildlife to live and breed. They also help to protect the habitats of endangered species. Community-managed forests help to conserve forests and promote sustainable forest management. Botanical gardens help to conserve plants and promote the study of botany.
Sikkim’s rich biodiversity is a valuable resource that needs to be protected. The network of protected areas that exists in Sikkim is helping to do just that.
