Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow in your own words:
Since the world has become industrialised, there has been an increase in the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tiger, for instance, which once roamed the jungle in vast
numbers, now number only 2300 and by the year 2025 their population is esteemed to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who
accordingly to some sources, are not interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the problem of extinction. Animal like the Bengal tiger, as well as those endangered species, are a valuable part of this world’s ecosystem. International law protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival, and the survival of the planet. Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amount of land to animal reserves. They then charge admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. With the money get, they can invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals .Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide, of animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but it will not, by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
