BAHARU shyamsunder Public Library
(town) is celebrating its centenary with a three day cultural programme and
seminar starting from 20 April. Hemanta Mukherjee and poet Shakti Chattopadhyay
were born in Baharu village in the Southern fringes. It is amazing to note that
Hemanta Mukherjee had organized a solo programme on 10 April, 1946 at the
Calcutta University Institute Hall to raise funds for the library. He along
with Chattopadhyay were felicitated in 1989 when the library was celebrating
its platinum jubilee. The library has an impressive stock of 20 books and
periodicals. There are 574 members. The organizers regretted that the number of
students and youths using the library is fast vanishing. There is a tendency
among the youths to read books on the net and the habit of reading books is
going fast due to their busy schedule. There was a time when on an average 120
books were issued per day and the number has gone down handsomely. A drive has
been launched to create awareness among children and youths to develop the
habit of going to the library.

Read the Paragraph and answer the
following four questions:
Melbourne: Scientists have developed a
new low-cost way to save rare animals and plants from poachers-by using ma s.
Researchers from the University of Queensland used a mathematical model to
outwit poachers in Africa s Greater Virunga Landscape-one of the most
bio-diverse places on Earth, with 13 protected areas covering 13,800 sq km. By
studying the poachers incursion patterns and prioritizing patrols, the model
could improve protection of endangered animals and plants where they most need
it, while minimizing patrol and conservation costs, said Richard Fuller of the
University. The great thing about this approach is that it can be
applied anywhere, Fuller said. Our
study in central Africa showed that patrols are usually carried out near patrol
stations where rangers are based, and therefore they aren t very effective at
stopping illegal hunting beyond a few kilometers, he said. The team studied
which areas had the most illegal poaching and logging, the impact on wildlife,
and the cost of patrolling the threatened areas, James Watson, another member
of the research team, said the researchers included all the information in a
mathematical model that prioritized the location of patrols. For example, since
the poachers know well where the patrol bases are, patrollers should target
more remote areas-a hot spot for illegal poachers- by extending their patrols,
Watson said. The study showed that this reduced the cost of meeting all
conservation targets in the landscape by as 63%. By providing a big-picture
view of the entire landscape, the model enabled us to maximize conservation
efforts on a limited budget, Watson said. Fuller said that apart from deterring
poaching, the approach could also be used to prevent disturbance of threatened
species due to human activity.

to in the extract suggests
A. To target remote areas away from patrol
bases

To prioritize patrols
C. To use mathematical skill

Outsmart
