Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Wildlife Action Plan (NWAP) for 2017-2031 is indeed the third such plan formulated by India, following the first (1983-2001) and the second (2002-2016) [1]. Statement 1 is therefore correct. Statement 2 is also correct, as the third NWAP is unique for being the first to explicitly recognize and integrate concerns regarding the impact of climate change on wildlife into management planning processes [1]. However, Statement 3 is incorrect; the NWAP 2017-2031 is structured around five components and 17 themes, rather than ten components. These components include strengthening habitat management, adaptation to climate change, and rehabilitation of threatened species. Consequently, only statements 1 and 2 are accurate.
