Q. Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Andhra Pradesh
Notes: The Great Indian Bustard (GIB) faces local extinction in Andhra Pradesh's Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary due to no sightings for years. Established in 1988, it's the state's sole GIB Sanctuary, aiming to protect the endangered bird. Situated amid Nallamalai and Yerramalai hill ranges, the sanctuary harbors diverse flora, including 32 grass species and prominent trees like Cassia fistula and Butea monosperma. The absence of GIB sightings underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts in the region.
