Media Queries not taking

I've looked so closely at the code in the lesson, and can't seem to see anything wrong. Yet, the layout adjustments we made in the media queries for 480px screens (particularly after adding the max-width: 1024px rule,) don't appear when I reduce the viewport. I also ran it through LINT, and it said that it expected an RBRACE { at line 206 (the line above .wildlife rule under the 1024px media query line. )

Snapshot (Media queries are at bottom of style.css file in the css folder) https://w.trhou.se/0wxvfh37nw

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm stuck.

You haven't closed the bracers correctly. Here's your media query.

@media (max-width: 1024px) {
  .primary-content,
  .secondary-content {
    width: 90%;
  {
  .wildlife {
    padding: 10% 12%;
    margin: 50px 0 20px;
  }
}

It should be like this. 

@media (max-width: 1024px) {
  .primary-content,
  .secondary-content {
    width: 90%;
  }     /* <------------- Here's the problem. Now it's fixed. */
  .wildlife {
    padding: 10% 12%;
    margin: 50px 0 20px;
  }
}

I hope that it helped you.
