Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A- In India, green organizations fight to protect eagles and other birds of prey from extinction.
B- In Africa, a long campaign has been waged against the ivory trade and the savage slaughter of elephants.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option1 - Only statement A is incorrect.
The question asks which statement is incorrect. Thus, statement A is incorrect as in the Philippines (not India), green organizations fight to protect eagles and other birds of prey from extinction.
Wilderness-oriented perspectives have been predominant in Australia, Scandinavia, North America, and New Zealand. In these regions, there are still large tracts of relatively ‘underdeveloped wilderness’, unlike in most European countries. This is not to say that wilderness campaigns are entirely missing in the South. In the Philippines, green organizations fight to protect eagles and other birds of prey from extinction. In India, a battle goes on to protect the alarmingly low number of Bengal tigers. In Africa, a long campaign has been waged against the ivory trade and the savage slaughter of elephants (Statement B). Some of the most famous wilderness struggles have been fought in the forests of Brazil and Indonesia.
