Answer: Karnataka
Notes: The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has proposed an Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ) of 663.32 square kilometres around the Kali Tiger Reserve to regulate activities and protect biodiversity. Kali Tiger Reserve is located in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka in the ecologically fragile Western Ghats. It comprises two contiguous protected areas: Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary and Anshi National Park, forming a single ecological landscape. It is connected to Bhimgad Wildlife Sanctuary and further to Radhanagari and Koyna wildlife sanctuaries in Maharashtra, ensuring wildlife corridors.
