Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
TRAFFIC is an international NGO jointly founded by WWF and IUCN; it is not a bureau under UNEP, so statement 1 is incorrect. Its stated mission is to ensure that trade in wild flora and fauna does not threaten the conservation of nature, making statement 2 correct. Therefore only statement 2 is right.
