A sanctuary may be defined as a place where Man is passive and the rest of Nature active. Till quite recently
Nature had her own sanctuaries, where man either did not go at all or only as a tool-using animal in
comparatively small numbers. But now, in this machinery age, there is no place left where man cannot go with
overwhelming forces at his command. He can strangle to death all the nobler wild life in the world to-day. To-
morrow he certainly will have done so, unless he exercises due foresight and self-control in the mean time.
There is not the slightest doubt that birds and mammals are now being killed off much faster than they can
breed. And it is always the largest and noblest forms of life that suffer most. The whales and elephants, lions
and eagles, go. The rats and flies, and all mean parasites, remain. This is inevitable in certain cases. But it is
wanton killing off that I am speaking of to-night. Civilized man begins by destroying the very forms of wild life he
learns to appreciate most when
he becomes still more civilized. The obvious remedy is to begin conservation at an earlier stage, when it is
easier and better in every way, by enforcing laws for close seasons, game preserves, the selective protection of
certain species, and sanctuaries.
I have just defined a sanctuary as a place where man is passive and the rest of Nature active. But this general
definition is too absolute for any special case. The mere fact that man has to protect a sanctuary does away
with his purely passive attitude. Then, he can be beneficially active by destroying pests and parasites, like bot-
flies or mosquitoes, and by finding antidotes for diseases like the epidemic which periodically kills off the
rabbits and thus starves many of the carnivora to death. But, except in cases where experiment has proved his
intervention to be beneficial, the less he upsets the balance of Nature the better, even when he tries to be an
earthly Providence.
Q.1. The author implies that his first definition of a sanctuary is
A. Totally wrong
B. Somewhat idealistic
C. unhelpful
D. indefensible
E. immutable​
