Hi,
Ranyo Ashoka, Himalayan nettle, Denisovan - Who would have thought of such random questions?
Creating this thread with the sole purpose of sharing facts that can be relevant for Prelims. While there is always this thought, that there is no end to learning and mugging up facts, but if we observe closely - the options are not very close and elimination is easy. By pooling our resources here, if we give it one reading also, the probability of retaining it on the D day and eliminating options increases exponentially.
I request the aspirants to actively contribute here and let's hope that we strike gold on 31st ;).

B.
Statement 3 is too definitive. M not sure about that.
Statement 1 seems incorrect. WLS has a mandate to protect species and not NPs. NPs are created to protect the habitats. Also exotic is not necessarily equal to invasive. I am sure there must be some WLS out of 500 or so which would protect atleast some of the migratory birds which won't classify as native but probably exotic.Choose the correct statement(s):1.The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 protects only native species, and not exotic flora or fauna.2.

I read a scroll article which says that statement 1 is correct. I made a guess on similar lines.
