As a research schlar at the Indian Institute fr Science Educatin and Research, I nce mnitred birds that inhabited grasslands in Daying Ering Memrial Wildlife Sanctuary, a prtected area in Nrtheast India. This habitat frms a part f ne f the mst bi-diverse places n Earth. Yet despite their eclgical imprtance and uniqueness, mst grasslands are classified by the Indian gvernment as“wastelands”.
Ecsystems thrughut the wrld are suffering frm the effects f unchecked habitat lss and climate change.

With the aim f preserving the richness f nature, the gvernment must restre greater rights t lcal cmmunities t manage grasslands. Grasslands are an imprtant feature f an eclgically sund India, ne that must be preserved fr that value abve all thers.
12．What des the authr want t stress in the secnd paragraph?
A．Frests are htspts f bidiversity. B．Deserts badly affect lcal eclgy.
C．Climate change threatens ecsystems. D．Grasslands need equal cnservatin.
13．What is the authr's attitude t Indian gvernment's mve?
A．Tlerant. B．Unclear. C．Negative. D．Favrable.
14．Wh shuld be encuraged t prtect the grasslands accrding t the text?
A．Gvernment fficials. B．Lcal cmmunities.
C．University researchers. D．Internatinal agencies.
15．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Stp Treating Grasslands as Wastelands B．Take Active Steps t Limit Grasslands
