Question

In 2026, which country signed a new MoU with India to strengthen cooperation in forests, wildlife, biodiversity conservation, and climate change?

• A. France
• B. Nepal
• C. Sri Lanka
• D. Argentina

Hint:

Whenever terms like "forests, wildlife, and biodiversity conservation corridors" appear, look closely at neighboring nations sharing immediate physical borders with India, as trans-boundary animal movement necessitates these administrative MoUs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the country that signed a 2026 MoU with India on forests, wildlife, biodiversity and climate change.

Step 2: Identify it.
India and Nepal signed this Memorandum of Understanding.

Step 3: Why Nepal.
India and Nepal share an open border and ecosystems like the Terai Arc Landscape, a corridor for tigers, elephants and rhinos. So joint forest and wildlife management is natural.

Step 4: Rule out others.
France works with India on solar power, and Argentina on farming. But this direct cross-border forest and wildlife MoU was with Nepal.

Step 5: Conclude.
The country is Nepal.

Answer: Nepal
