Reading Comprehension (Q51–53)

Read the following passage and answer the questions:

Wildlife across the world is facing increasing risks due to human activities and environmental changes. Rapid deforestation, expansion of agricultural land, urbanization, and climate change have significantly reduced natural habitats, forcing many species into smaller and more fragmented areas. As a result, incidents of human-wildlife conflict have become more frequent, posing threats to both animals and local communities.

In response to these challenges, governments and conservation organizations have implemented various measures to protect wildlife. The establishment of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves aims to conserve critical habitats. Anti-poaching laws have been strengthened, and the use of technology such as camera traps and satellite tracking has improved the monitoring of endangered species. Awareness campaigns have also been launched to involve local communities in conservation efforts.

Despite these initiatives, wildlife conservation continues to face limitations. Insufficient funding, weak enforcement of laws, and a lack of coordination among agencies often reduce the effectiveness of conservation programs. Moreover, conservation efforts that overlook the livelihood needs of local populations can lead to resistance and non-cooperation.

The way forward lies in adopting an integrated approach that balances ecological protection with human development. Promoting community-based conservation, restoring degraded habitats, and encouraging sustainable land-use practices are essential steps. Long-term success will depend on political commitment, scientific research, and active public participation to ensure that wildlife conservation remains both effective and inclusive.
