Explanation:

1. Rajaji---------> National park

Rajaji National Park is located on the foothills of the Himalayas. It covers almost three districts of the state of Uttarakhand, i.e. Haridwar, Pauri and Dehradun. A large number of species of mammals are found in this reserve, including elephants.

2. Lions-------> Gir Forest

The Gir Forest in Gujarat is a natural habitat of Asiatic lions. They are endangered species and therefore need to be saved.

3. Tropical rainforests -------> Tidal creeks

Tropical rainforests are found in areas with heavy rainfall. They are called evergreen forests because their trees do not shed leaves in a particular period during the year. Thus, they remain green throughout the year.


4. Monsoon forests --------> National park

Tropical deciduous forests are also known as monsoon forests because the trees in these forests shed their leaves for a period of few weeks, though the time in which they shed their leaves may differ.


5. Mangroves------> Evergreen

Mangrove forests are found along coastlines, tidal creeks and backwaters. The trees in these forests can survive in both freshwater and saltwater.
