Internal Assignment- 1<br />
Max. Marks: 20<br />
Answer the following questions. Questions 1&2 have internal choice.<br />
(7Marks each)<br />
Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow<br />
in your own words:<br />
Since the world has become industrialised, there has been an increase in the<br />
number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared<br />
extinction. Bengal tiger, for instance, which once romed the jungle in vast<br />
numbers, now number only 2300 and by the year 2025 their population is<br />
esteemed to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of Bengal tiger<br />
is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who<br />
accordingly to some sourses, are not interested in material gain but in per-<br />
sonal gratification. This is an example of the collousness that is part of what is<br />
causing the problem of extinction. Animal like the Bengal tiger, as well as<br />
those endangered species, are a valuable part of this world’s ecosystem. Inter-<br />
national law protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival,<br />
and the survival of the planet. Countaries around the world have begun to deal<br />
with the problem in various ways. Some countries ,in order to circumvent the<br />
problem, have alocated large amount of land to animal reserves. They then<br />
charge admission to help defray the costs of maintiong th parks, and they<br />
often must also depend on world organizations for support. With the money<br />
get, they can invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals .Another<br />
solution that is an attempt to stem the tide, of animal extinction is an interna-<br />
tional boycutt of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly<br />
effective, but it will not, by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and<br />
killed.
