A particular State in India has the following characteristics:
1. It is located on the same latitude which passes through northern Rajasthan.
2. It has over 80% of its area under forest cover.
3. Over 12% of forest cover constitutes Protected Area Network in this State.
Which one among the following States has all the above characteristics?

Accepted Answer

Arunachal Pradesh is the correct answer based on the following three criteria.

First, northern Rajasthan and Arunachal Pradesh both lie roughly on the 28 degrees North latitude.

Second, according to the India State of Forest Report, Arunachal Pradesh consistently maintains a very high forest cover, which is around 80 percent of its total geographical area. In contrast, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have significantly lower percentages of forest cover, while Assam is mostly located further south and has less forest area.

Third, the state has a robust Protected Area Network consisting of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries that account for over 12 percent of its total forest area. These specific geographical and ecological metrics align perfectly with Arunachal Pradesh.
