Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Protecting Wildlife in the Modern Era
Paragraph 1
Wildlife conservation has become a global priority as the loss of biodiversity accelerates. Each year, countless
species are added to the endangered list due to habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change. According to
recent studies, over 26,000 species are now threatened with extinction. For example, orangutans are losing their
habitats in Southeast Asia due to deforestation, while rhinos in Africa are being hunted for their horns.
Paragraph 2
The disappearance of species affects ecosystems in profound ways. Every living organism plays a specific role
in maintaining ecological balance. When a species becomes extinct, it can lead to the collapse of entire
ecosystems. For instance, the decline in bee populations affects pollination, which is crucial for food
production. Similarly, the extinction of predators like tigers can result in overpopulation of herbivores, causing
further damage to plant life.
Paragraph 3
Efforts to conserve wildlife involve governments, non-profit organizations, and local communities. Wildlife
reserves and national parks have been established to protect natural habitats, while anti-poaching laws are being
enforced more strictly. Community-led conservation programs have also proven successful, such as those
empowering local people to protect species like the snow leopard in Central Asia.
Paragraph 4
Technology has introduced innovative tools for wildlife conservation. Satellite tracking helps monitor animal
movements and identify poaching hotspots. Conservation drones are now used to patrol protected areas, while
camera traps provide valuable data on species populations. Moreover, global databases like the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List play a key role in tracking endangered species and
prioritizing conservation efforts.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
🌿 PROTECTING ENDANGERED SPECIES 🌿

[I] The conservation of wildlife has become a pressing global issue as many species face the risk of extinction
due to human activity. [II] Over the past few decades, numerous efforts have been made to safeguard
endangered species and their habitats. [III] Among these efforts are wildlife reserves, breeding programs, and
international agreements aimed at curbing illegal hunting and trading. [IV]
One significant cause of species endangerment is habitat destruction. Forests, wetlands, and grasslands are
being cleared to make way for agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure projects. These activities not
only destroy the natural homes of animals but also disrupt ecosystems. Additionally, climate change has had
severe consequences on wildlife, altering migration patterns and threatening food availability. Despite these
challenges, some success stories provide hope. Conservation programs have helped species like the bald eagle
and the giant panda recover from the brink of extinction.
Efforts to protect endangered species also involve raising public awareness about the importance of
biodiversity. Many organisations work tirelessly to educate people on how their actions, such as reducing
plastic waste and supporting sustainable products, can benefit wildlife. Governments play a critical role by
enforcing strict laws against poaching and supporting conservation initiatives financially. International
cooperation is equally vital to address cross-border wildlife trafficking.
While progress has been made, much remains to be done. Wildlife conservation requires global collaboration,
strong policies, and community involvement. By working together, we can ensure that endangered species are
preserved for future generations and that ecosystems remain balanced and thriving.
