Which wildlife sanctuary in Assam is most affected by annual floods?

Kaziranga National Park
Manas National Park
Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary
Diphu Wildlife Sanctuary

The correct answer is: a) Kaziranga National Park.

Kaziranga National Park is a national park in the Golaghat and Nagaon districts of the Indian state of Assam. It is the largest national park in India and is famous for its population of one-horned rhinoceroses. The park is also home to tigers, elephants, deer, and other animals.

The park is located in the Brahmaputra River basin and is prone to annual floods. The floods are caused by the monsoon rains, which cause the Brahmaputra River to overflow its banks. The floods can cause significant damage to the park’s infrastructure and wildlife.

In 2012, the park was severely affected by floods. The floods caused the death of over 200 rhinoceroses and displaced thousands of animals. The floods also damaged the park’s roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

The park’s management has taken steps to mitigate the effects of floods. These steps include building embankments to protect the park from flooding, relocating animals to safer areas, and providing food and water to animals that are displaced by the floods.

Despite the challenges posed by floods, Kaziranga National Park remains an important wildlife sanctuary. The park is home to a diverse range of wildlife and is a popular tourist destination.
