Solution

Hint:- Wildlife conservation refers to the practices which involve the protection of wild animals and their habitats to maintain stability in their population and to restore and protect the natural ecosystem. The ultimate goal of wildlife conservation is to protect the wild species and to educate people on living sustainably with these wild species.

Complete Answer:- The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that over 27,000 species are at risk of extinction. Major threats to wildlife include habitat destruction by human induced deforestation, overexploitation, poaching, culling, pollution and climate changes. Habitat conservation refers to protecting the habitat to protect species in it. Habitat conservation involves protected areas such as National Parks or Natural reserves.
National Park is a park created by the government for conservation and protection of wild species. These are IUCN category II protected areas. Jim Corbett National Park was India's first national park, established in 1936 as Hailey’s National Park. As of 2020, there are 105 national parks in India.
Bandipur National Park located in Karnataka, was established in 1974 under Project Tiger. It is one of the premier tiger reserves in the country. It covers an area of 874 square kilometres protecting many endangered wild species in the country. It also has Gray Langurs, Indian Giant Squirrels, Leopards, Red headed Vultures and Indian Elephants.
So, the correct answer is Option (B).

Note:- Both national and international governments are putting in their efforts towards wildlife conservation. Prominent agreements include 1973 Convention on International trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and also includes the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity. Various non governmental organisations also put in their efforts for wildlife protection, some of which are, Nature conservancy, World Wildlife Fund and Conservation International.
