Eye-opening IUCN biodiversity quiz

[DavidBrown]

Highly recommended quiz from the IUCN on the value of ecosystem services that we get from biodiversity. Short, fun, and highly informative:

IUCN - Celebrating forests - Quiz

Sample question: What proportion of the 100 most prescribed medicinal drugs originate from wild species?

 

[Hix]

I got the first two right, but the remaining eight were wrong (although I was close!).

And surprised by the Coco-de-mer.

 

[Chlidonias]

that was pretty surprising - I got six out of eight correct. The two I got wrong: the frog question (embarrassingly enough), and the percentage of drugs sourced from the wild. Like Hix I'll say I was "close" on those two though (but with a choice of only four answers it'd be hard to be completely off).
