Reading Comprehension IV
Answer these questions below.
Scanning
1. Why has the antelope in Tibet become an endangered species?
2. Why are elephant numbers increasing in Zimbabwe?
Its fur is being used to make sweaters. As the sweaters become popular, more and more animals are killed. So very few antelopes are left.
The farmers stopped killing the elephants, so the numbers increased.
3. How does the government of
Zimbabwe help protect wild animals?
The government helps the farmers. It
makes sure that the tour companies
pay the farmers when tourists come
to visit and hunt a few animals.
4. Why is it important to protect the rainforest?
Looking after the rainforest helps protect plants and animals we know nothing about. They may make it possible for us to produce medicines and drugs that we don’t yet know about.
Live in harmony with the wildlife!
