Q. Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Assam
Notes: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) allocates funds for canopy bridges aiding Hoolock Gibbon, India’s lone ape, to traverse railway tracks in eastern Assam. Gibbons, Asia's smallest and fastest apes, inhabit tropical forests. Hoolock Gibbon, India's sole ape species, dwells in Assam, Meghalaya, and other northeastern states. Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary hosts a significant population. They're diurnal, monogamous, and vocal communicators. Endangered Western Hoolock Gibbon and Vulnerable Eastern Hoolock Gibbon face conservation concerns.
