1. Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is an example of which type of conservation and write two advantages of this conservation.
2. Why did the incident happen in the buffer zone?

Answer 1

1. Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is an example of in-situ conservation.
   Two advantages of in-situ conservation are:
   1. Plants and animals are conserved in their natural habitat.
   2. Biodiversity and natural heritage are protected.
2. The buffer zone is the transition zone where no human activity is allowed and is legally protected. It is the middle zone of research-use strategies where limited human activities are allowed.
   This happened in the buffer zone as human beings illegally entered the restricted area.
