Q. Recently, which state established a special fund to save Purple Frog in the Western Ghats?
Answer:
Tamil Nadu
Notes: Tamil Nadu has established a special fund to conserve the Purple Frog, considered a 'living fossil' coexisting with dinosaurs. Acknowledged globally as one of the rarest frogs, it belongs to the Sooglossidae family and spends most of its life underground, emerging only during the monsoon for mating. With a distinct appearance, short hind legs, and preference for specific Western Ghats habitats, the Purple Frog is listed as Near Threatened by IUCN and under Schedule I of WPA, highlighting its conservation significance.
