Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct: BirdLife International is indeed a global partnership of conservation organizations. It is the world's largest partnership of conservation organizations, striving to conserve birds, their habitats, and global biodiversity.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The concept of 'biodiversity hotspots' was originated by Norman Myers, a British environmental scientist, in 1988, not by BirdLife International. While BirdLife International works extensively in and identifies key biodiversity areas, they did not conceptualize the term 'biodiversity hotspots'.

Statement 3 is correct: BirdLife International is the globally recognized authority for identifying, documenting, and designating 'Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas' (IBAs). IBAs are sites critical for the conservation of bird populations around the world.

Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
