Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) is a major initiative launched by the Prime Minister of India in April 2023 to mark the 50th anniversary of Project Tiger. It is an India-led global effort aimed at the conservation of seven major big cats: Tiger, Lion, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Cheetah, Jaguar, and Puma. The alliance facilitates collaboration among range countries to stop illegal wildlife trade and promote habitat restoration.

  • Humpback Whale Project and International Rhino Foundation are primarily international NGO-led initiatives, not flagship Indian government programmes.
  • The International Gorilla Conservation Programme focuses on mountain gorillas in Africa (Rwanda, Uganda, and DRC) and is not related to India's domestic or led conservation efforts.
