Answer : 3. "Ladakh"
Explanation :
Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Bhupendra Yadav released India's first Snow Leopard Population Assessment Report. A four-year-long scientific exercise coordinated by the Wildlife Institute of India estimated about 718 snow leopards in the wild. Ladakh leads with 477, followed by Uttarakhand (124), Himachal Pradesh (51), Arunachal Pradesh (36), Sikkim (21), and Jammu and Kashmir (nine). India accounts for 10-15% of the global snow leopard population.
