Q1. Which Indian received the ‘Green Oscar’, the Whitley Gold Award 2024?
Explanation
Purnima Devi Barman, a conservationist from Assam, received the Whitley Gold Award 2024, often called the ‘Green Oscar’, for her work around the greater adjutant stork and wetland conservation through community action. Amrita Devi is remembered for the Khejarli sacrifice and the Bishnoi tradition of environmental protection, not for this 2024 award. Alice Garg is associated with social work and women’s development in Rajasthan. Tulsi Gowda, a well-known environmentalist from Karnataka, received the Padma Shri, but she was not the 2024 Whitley Gold Award recipient.
