Detailed Explanation:
Answer: Option 1 — Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve
Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve (STR) in Tamil Nadu is the largest tiger reserve in the state and serves as a crucial wildlife corridor within the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. It acts as a vital ecological link connecting the Western Ghats with the Eastern Ghats, facilitating genetic flow and wildlife movement between these two mountain ranges. STR is contiguous with several protected areas including Biligiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary, Sigur Plateau, Mudumalai National Park, and Bandipur National Park, making it ecologically significant for biodiversity conservation and maintaining landscape connectivity between the Eastern and Western Ghats.
