What is the Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE)?<\/strong><br>MEE is a framework developed by the IUCN-WCPA used to assess how effectively protected areas such as national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are managed. In India, it is conducted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q2. How often is the MEE conducted in India?<\/strong><br>MEE evaluations are conducted every 4\u20135 years. The current cycle covered the period from 2020 to 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q3. Which state received the highest rating in the 2020\u20132025 MEE cycle?<\/strong><br>Kerala received the highest score among all Indian states with a &#8220;Very Good&#8221; rating and a 76.22% overall score across its protected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q4. What is the significance of Eravikulam National Park?<\/strong><br>Eravikulam NP in Kerala tied with Dachigam NP (J&amp;K) as the top-scoring protected areas in India with a 92.97% MEE score. It is located in the Western Ghats and is known for the endangered Nilgiri Tahr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q5. Why did Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary receive a poor score?<\/strong><br>It scored low due to high pollution from sewage and vehicle emissions, as well as the absence of a formal management plan. These urban ecological threats impacted its conservation effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q6. Which other protected areas in Kerala performed well?<\/strong><br>Mathikettan Shola NP, Chinnar WLS, and Neyyar WLS were among the top scorers in India\u2019s MEE evaluation, reinforcing Kerala\u2019s overall biodiversity conservation excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q7. How can this topic appear in government exams?<\/strong><br>It can appear as a current affairs question, part of environmental studies (GS Paper-3), or in questions about biodiversity conservation efforts, policy implementation, or India\u2019s ecological initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
