Q. Which is the first major metropolitan city in India to prepare a detailed register of biodiversity?
Answer:
Kolkata
Notes: Kolkata recently became the first major metropolitan city in India to prepare a detailed register of biodiversity.
The People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) includes 399 plant and 283 animal species. The Forest Survey of India’s recent report flagged the West Bengal Capital for the least green cover among all metro cities. Chandigarh and Indore have also prepared a similar document.
