Difficulty: MediumLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Established in 1970, the Kainji Lake National Park in Nigeria was formed by merging two former game reserves: the Borgu Game Reserve and the Zugurma Game Reserve. While the Borgu section covers an expansive savanna woodland habitat across Niger and Kwara States, the Zugurma section lies entirely within Niger State and features predominantly lowland rainforest patches. The primary mandate of the park's administrative board was to protect endangered wildlife species, particularly the West African lion and African elephant, from rampant poaching. Unlike smaller wildlife sanctuaries in the region, the park receives its operational funding directly from the Federal Government of Nigeria rather than state-level forestry departments, ensuring continuous conservation operations.
