Question

Read the passage and answer the following questions. (10m) You may have heard about a great human friend of ours – Dr Salim Ali. He had even suggested that we should be given the status of the ‘National Bird’ of our country but the honour went to our beautiful relative - the peacock. I am happy to tell you that I am the State bird of Rajasthan. We have got ten sanctuaries for our protection but sadly, our number is still going down. We used to live in all parts of India. But slowly the growing population of man pushed us away from more than 90 percent of our home regions. We are afraid of hunters that kill us for fun. We also die due to electric power-lines that we can’t see while flying. We are losing our homes. Today, only the last 200 of us are left in the world. We need your support and love in order to survive. Can you help us? You can write letters to your leaders and make an appeal to help us. You can make my drawing and submit it to your teacher. You can discuss this with your parents. Come to see us at a sanctuary, because now you will not see us in other places. And who knows, if humans don’t help us, none of us will be left on the earth. You will only see us in pictures. - Dr Pramod Patil Questions
