ENGLISH COMPREHENSION
An expert group has sounded a timely warning on what 'environmentally destructive tourism' will mean to national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and the objectives they are supposed to serve. Given the unique and rare wildlife the country has been endowed with, the rationale for using the resources for attracting
tourists from abroad is unassailable. This necessarily postulates that the flora and the fauna should be protected and conserved. As a matter of fact, much of the government's interest in wildlife preservation has to do with the tremendous prospect of tourist traffic on that account. Yet the risk of the revenue -
earning motivation overrunning the conservation imperatives is very real, the lure of the coveted foreign exchange that goes with this business only serving to enhancing it several folds. Even with the tourist inflow far below the potential, the pressure of visitors is said to have been already felt on the tiger reserves.
With the Government of India's declared intent to boost tourism quite justified for its own reasons, the need for eliminating the risk assumes a greater sense of urgency. The study team has noted that most of the 41 national parks and 165 wildlife sanctuaries surveyed are open tourists. The less frequented among
them may not require special attention immediately in this respect as much as the ones that are major tourists attraction do. These include the Sanjay National Park in Maharashtra, Nandankanan in Orissa, and Bannerghatta in Karnataka.
Over a year ago, the Indian Board of Wildlife expressed concern over the booming danger, and decided that the core areas of national parks and sanctuaries should be kept totally free from biotic disturbances, and the visitors be permitted to view the wildlife only from areas marked out for the purpose. And now, the
expert group has come up with the suggestion that a case by case evaluation be done of the 'capacity' as well as the 'limitations' of all the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and based on such assessment on area-specific plan for tourist, promotion within the 'safety' norms be charted. That this is the most
scientific way of going about the job, and that there is no time to lose can be readily conceded.
17. The government shows keen interest in wild life preservation because
(1) it would bring in heavy foreign currency into the country.
(2) it wants to preserve the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
(3) to solve the problem of unemployment.
(4) of its interest in international tourism.
18. By-using the expression "environmentally destructive tourism", the author means
(1) the preservation of the wild beasts.
(2) destruction of the wildlife and sanctuaries.
(3) destroying the attractive sources of wild animals and birds.

2. (4) the maintenance of the flora and fauna of the country.
