Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
For each description, name the kind of protected area: a national park, a wildlife sanctuary, a biosphere reserve or a sacred grove.
In situ conservation protects a species on site. A hotspot has a very high species richness and a high endemism. NCERT gives: hotspots cover less than 2 per cent of the land, and strict protection could cut the ongoing extinctions by almost 30 per cent. A biosphere reserve has a core, a buffer and a transition zone (the zones and their widths are standard knowledge, and the area arithmetic is not in the NEET syllabus).
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. (a) Biosphere reserve.
Step 2. (b) Sacred grove.
Step 3. (c) National park.
Step 4. (d) Wildlife sanctuary.
Step 5. (e) None. All four protect species in their own habitat, so all four are in situ.
Answer: (a) biosphere reserve; (b) sacred grove; (c) national park; (d) wildlife sanctuary; (e) none.
