Answer : 1. "Jammu and Kashmir"
Explanation :
Despite conservation efforts, the Hangul deer of Kashmir, also known as the Kashmir deer, is facing extinction. This shy and sensitive species, the only surviving Asian subspecies of the European red deer, is the state animal of Jammu and Kashmir. Endemic to the hills of Kashmir, especially in Dachigam National Park, it suffers from habitat loss and poaching. Critically endangered according to the IUCN and listed in CITES Appendix I, urgent measures are needed to save it from extinction.
