Explanation – Rajaji Tiger Reserve was established in 1983 by merging three wildlife sanctuaries and it is located in Uttarakhand. It is named after C. Rajagopalachari. The reserve is situated along the foothills of the Shivalik range of the Himalayas. The Ganga and Song rivers flow through the reserve, adding to its ecological diversity. It is a critical corridor for wildlife movement between the western and eastern regions of the Himalayas. It is part of India’s Project Tiger and Project Elephant. The unique geographical feature of Rajaji Tiger Reserve is that it is bisected by the Ganges River flowing through it.
