Which of the following is NOT among the list of Indian biosphere reserves designated as a "UNESCO World Network Site" in 2024?
Dibru-Saikhowa Biosphere Reserve
UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR) under the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme included 12 of India's 18 biosphere reserves as of 2024.
These were: Nilgiri (2000, the first), Gulf of Mannar, Sunderban, Nanda Devi, Nokrek, Pachmarhi, Similipal, Achanakmar-Amarkantak, Great Nicobar (2013), Agasthyamala, Khangchendzonga and Panna (2020).
Dibru-Saikhowa in Assam is a national biosphere reserve (notified in 1997), but it is not part of the UNESCO World Network.
Hence, Dibru-Saikhowa Biosphere Reserve is not among the UNESCO World Network sites.
