Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

In January 2024, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) submitted nominations for the Wetland City Accreditation (WCA) under the Ramsar Convention for three Indian cities: Indore, Bhopal, and Udaipur. These are the first three cities from India to be nominated for this international recognition.

  • Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Nominated for its conservation efforts regarding the Sirpur Wetland (a Ramsar site).
  • Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Recognized for the Bhoj Wetland, which is central to the city's ecosystem.
  • Udaipur (Rajasthan): Known as the 'City of Lakes,' it was nominated for its integrated management of five major lakes.

Jodhpur (Option D) was not among the cities nominated by the Ministry, making it the correct answer. The WCA scheme recognizes cities that demonstrate strong positive relationships with their wetlands through conservation and sustainable use.
