'RAJMA' for Rajasthan parks - Ranthambore, Sariska, Keoladeo, Desert National Park, Mukundra Hills. For quick recall, remember that most tiger reserves are in Central India (MP, Maharashtra, Karnataka) while elephant reserves dominate South and Northeast. Corbett (1936) was India's first National Park, originally named Hailey National Park. Common mistake students make is confusing Sanctuaries with National Parks - remember that Sanctuaries allow some human activities while National Parks don't.
Another error is mixing up animals with wrong parks - Gir has lions, not tigers; Kaziranga has rhinos, not elephants as primary species. Students often forget that Sundarbans is famous for Royal Bengal Tigers, not just mangroves. Project Tiger, Project Elephant, and Project Snow Leopard are different conservation initiatives with specific target species. The examination frequently tests recent additions to tiger reserves and newly declared National Parks.
