Express News Quiz: On wildlife, nature & popular culture

When it comes to holding attention, wildlife conservation rarely makes it to the top of the list. Those of us in cities aren’t close enough to feel the burn, but another factor is how little news about ecological damage actually makes it to the mainstream. Celebrity weddings? Check. But a wildfire destroying forests? Crickets.

Seeing as March opens with World Wildlife Day, there’s no better time to try and reverse this pattern. Today’s news quiz is thus entirely themed on India’s animals and ecosystems, with enough clues to help you crack all 11 questions. Good luck, and see you on the other side!

Note: To get your final score, make sure to attempt all questions. The list below the quiz box will have the meaning of your results.
