Q. Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Assam
Notes: The Union Environment Ministry's approval for oil and gas drilling in Hoollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary may endanger the Hoolock gibbon further. This evergreen forest sanctuary, located in Assam's Jorhat district, was established in 1997. It's the only sanctuary in India named after a gibbon, containing the densest gibbon populations in Assam. The Bhogdoi River forms a waterlogged region with semi-hydrophytic plants along its border.
