Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Every year a group of birdwatchers assembles in an Indian swamp to count Siberian cranes, a species celebrated by ancient Persian poets as "the Great Northern Princess" and now more likely to be shot out of the sky and roasted for dinner. At most, only 200 are left in the wild. A "western flock" of birds breeds in the Russian tundra and migrates 6,000 miles to wintering grounds in northern India while the larger eastern flock more sensibly opts for China.
With that unerring instinct for self-destruction characteristic of so many endangered species, the western 6 flock flies straight across the most turbulent areas of Iran and Afghanistan, where trigger-happy soldiers find the large, slow flying birds irresistible for target practice and the pot.
Meanwhile villagers in northern Pakistan have taken to crane-hunting. Nearly 6,000 cranes are held in captivity, according to the World Wildlife Fund, most of them are demoiselle or common cranes. Some of them act as decoys to attract the migrants, which are caught in flight by teams of hunters using soias, crude flying snares of lead-weighted cords. In skilled hands, a sofa can bring down a crane from 100ft. More happily, recent reports suggest that some of the birds, their wings clipped to prevent escape, have adapted surprisingly well to their homes and have bred.
Other, more orthodox captive-breeding programs have been supplemented with a range of weird and wonderful experiments: eggs produced by captive cranes have been distributed among nests in the northern tundra, and small radio transmitters have been fitted to the birds' legs to help scientists trace the vicissitudes of migration. Some Indian conservationists are convinced, however, that it is too late to save the western flock, which could cease to migrate altogether by the end of the century. 'The increasing number of obstacles the birds meet in their flight south — hunters, new industrialized areas, the disappearance of water-holes - will finally stop the migration and the cranes will be condemned to die from the cold in Siberia," - the Indian Association for the Protection of Nature have warned.
The World Wildlife Fund believes seven of the 15 species of crane to be in danger of extinction, primarily because so many of their wetland habitats have been destroyed. Several species have recovered spectacularly after becoming national causes celebres among them the American whooping crane and the Manchurian, or red crest, crane of Japan. But as marshlands in eastern I4okkaido continue to be drained, this bird's future still hangs in the balance.
Though few Japanese have ever seen a live tancho its potency as a symbol in contemporary Japan is such that it crops up everywhere, from wedding gowns to the national airline. The ultimate humiliation fora dying species, surely, to serve as decoration for the forces that are wiping it out.
