With reference to a conservation organization called 'Wetlands International', which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It is an intergovernmental organization formed by the countries which are signatories to Ramsar Convention. 2. It works at the field level to develop and mobilize knowledge, and use the practical experience to advocate for better policies. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Explicitly lists Wetlands International among organisations that 'work with collaboration' with the Ramsar Convention, alongside IUCN, IWMI and WWF International.

A student could note that those named collaborators (e.g., WWF, IUCN) are well-known NGOs/actors rather than sovereign states, so infer Wetlands International is likely a non-state partner rather than an intergovernmental body formed by Ramsar signatory countries.

States the Ramsar Convention has 'Contracting Parties: 163', indicating the convention's membership consists of contracting parties (i.e., countries).

A student can combine this with the collaborator list to reason that membership/formation of an intergovernmental body would normally be described in terms of 'Contracting Parties' or states, so an organisation named as a collaborator is less likely to be the intergovernmental body formed by those countries.

Defines an international convention as 'an agreement among member states of the United Nations', reinforcing that conventions' parties are states.

Using this rule, a student could check whether Wetlands International is described as a party/state member of the convention (it is not in the snippets) versus as a collaborating organisation, supporting the hypothesis that it is not the intergovernmental organisation formed by the signatory states.

Names Wetlands International as a collaborating organisation with the Ramsar Convention and other international bodies on wetlands.

A student could combine this with the fact that Ramsar partners often deliver practical/programmatic support to infer Wetlands International may participate in on-the-ground knowledge activities.

Describes Ramsar parties' commitments including 'wise use' via management actions and public education—activities that commonly require field-level knowledge development and mobilization.

If Wetlands International is a Ramsar collaborator (snippet 2), one might reasonably suspect it contributes to those field-level management/education tasks.

Says a Ramsar declaration provides opportunity to seek international technical support for conservation and sustainable use through participatory mechanisms.

Knowing Wetlands International is listed as a Ramsar collaborator, a student could infer it is a likely source or participant in such technical/participatory field support.

Notes close coordination between Ramsar implementing units and national bodies and India's role in formulating Ramsar guidelines on integrating wetlands into river-basin management.

A student might extend this to hypothesize that partner NGOs like Wetlands International help implement guidelines at subnational/field levels where coordination is required.

Mentions decentralisation of wetland management to state/local authorities and roles in preparing inventories and regulated activities—tasks that need local knowledge mobilisation.

Given Wetlands International is a Ramsar collaborator (snippet 2), it could plausibly assist states/locals in field-level knowledge generation and inventories.

States that the Ramsar Convention works in collaboration with Wetlands International, placing Wetlands International in the core partnership for wetland conservation.

A student could reason that partners to an implementation-focused treaty are likely to supply expertise from practice (field data, case studies) to inform advocacy and policy work under Ramsar.

Lists Ramsar commitments such as 'wise use' via national land‑use planning, management actions and public education—activities that typically draw on practical, field‑level experience.

One can infer that organizations collaborating with Ramsar (like Wetlands International) would have roles that feed field experience into those planning and management actions to support policy advocacy.

Says a Ramsar declaration provides opportunity to seek international technical support for conservation and sustainable use through participatory mechanisms.

This suggests actors like Wetlands International could supply technical (often field‑based) support to inform policy decisions via participatory processes.

Describes Ramsar as a framework for national action and international cooperation for conservation and wise use—implying implementation needs practical inputs, not just theory.

Since Wetlands International is named as a Ramsar collaborator, a student could plausibly look for it providing practical/implementation experience to shape national/international policy advice.

Explicitly lists Wetlands International among key international organizations involved with wetlands alongside IUCN, IWMI, WWF—groups known for applied work.

Given the company it is listed with (organizations that combine field work and policy), a student might infer Wetlands International similarly bridges field practice and policy advocacy.
