Q. Dachigam National Park, recently seen in the news, is located in which state/UT?
Answer: Jammu and Kashmir
Notes: Despite conservation efforts, Kashmir's hangul deer, also known as the Kashmir stag, faces extinction. This shy and sensitive species, the only surviving Asiatic sub-species of the European red deer, is Jammu and Kashmir's state animal. Endemic to Kashmir's hills, particularly in Dachigam National Park, it suffers from habitat loss and poaching. Critically endangered according to IUCN and listed in CITES Appendix I, urgent measures are needed to save it from disappearing.
