Saving the tiger5

1 a Write a list of all the wild animals you know in English. Which do you think are endangered?

b Before you read, check these words/phrases with your teacher or in a dictionary.

a tiger reserve poaching destruction of habitats logging a plantation anti-poaching laws protection

2 a Cover the article. Then try to guess the correct number, word or phrase in these sentences.

1 A hundred years ago there were about 1 million/100,000/10,000 tigers in the wild.2 Now there are about 100,000/10,000/3,000 tigers in the wild. 3 About 40%/60%/90% of tiger habitat was lost in the 20th century. 4 The number of tigers in India is rising slowly/falling slowly/falling fast.

b Read the article. Check your answers.

I’m in the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, one of the best known of India’s 39 tiger reserves. I’m hoping to see one of these amazing animals during my visit, but it’s not going to be easy. It’s over 600km2, and there are only around 50 tigers in the reserve. But it might be my last chance to see a tiger in the wild because they are dangerously close to becoming extinct. A hundred years ago, there were around 100,000 tigers around the world, but experts believe there are only around 3,200 of these magni� cent animals left. There are two main reasons for this fall in numbers: poaching and destruction of their habitats. Poaching is less of a problem than it was, but it still continues today. Habitat destruction is less direct than poaching, but its effects are even more dramatic. Tigers have lost more than 90% of their habitat since the beginning of the 20th century, and the destruction continues today. In places like Indonesia, Malaysia and Africa, big logging companies cut down the forests and sell the wood. Then they use the land for soya, sugar cane, coffee or palm oil plantations. That’s why reserves such as the Tadoba-Andhari are so important.

Without them, the tiger will certainly become extinct.At the International Tiger Forum in 2010, leaders from the 13 countries with wild tigers agreed to take action to protect their tigers. They aim to double the number of wild tigers over the next ten years through a combination of new tiger reserves, anti-poaching laws and protection of tiger habitats. For example, in Russia, they have promised to stop logging in the tigers’ habitat. In Malaysia, new laws mean that poachers will go to prison for many years, and India is planning to create at least eight new tiger reserves. Positive actions like these should make a lot of difference to tiger populations. In fact, the latest � gures from India show that the number of tigers here has increased from 1,400 in 2007 to over 1,700 now. So at last, the future for tigers is looking brighter. Maybe if I don’t see any tigers this week, I’ll just come back in ten years, when there might be tigers everywhere.

Wildlife Diary: Day 47 Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, India

3 Read the article again. Answer these questions.

1 Why is it difficult for the writer to see a tiger in the Tadoba-Andhari reserve?2 Why do big logging companies cut down the forests?3 What do the members of the International Tiger Forum want to happen in the next ten years?4 Which country wants to focus on stopping poaching?5 Is the writer generally positive or negative about the future for tigers? Why?

4 Do you think that tigers have a positive future? Why?/Why not?

2a 1 100,000 2 3,000 3 90% 4 rising slowly 3 1 Because it’s a very large area and there are only 50 tigers there. 2 Because they want to sell the wood. Then they use the land for soya, sugar cane, coffee or palm oil plantations. 3 They want to double the number of wild tigers. 4 Malaysia 5 Positive, because the writer thinks these actions should make a lot of difference and there is already some good news.

Life in Greenland8

1 Look at the map. What do you think life in Greenland is like? Think about these things.

a what people eat c the roads and houses e how Greenlanders socialiseb what the people d what it’s like f how they see foreigners

are like in winter who live there

2 a Before you read, check these words/phrases with your teacher or in a dictionary.

spontaneous a community smell run out of store food a freezer a social gathering punctual

b Read the interview. Put things a–f in 1 in the order you read about them.

A FOREIGNER IN � � A� AQHave you ever wondered what it’s like to live above the Arctic Circle? Chris Paton, a 35-year-old English and Geography teacher, has lived in Uummannaq, on an island in northwest Greenland, for four years.

What are the people in Greenland like? One of the best things agout Greenlanders is that they are very spontaneous and � exible. But it actually took me a year to feel part of the community. Lots of Europeans come out here to work, usually for short periods of time. For example, doctors and nurses usually stay for between two weeks and six months. So the � rst question Greenlanders ask foreigners is, ‘How long are you staying for?’ But my students understand that I’m interested in their life and want to stay here – for a while anyway.

What is life in Uummannaq like? It is a very hard life here. It’s often impossible to visit the doctor or other important services because of the weather. Also, there are only a few roads in Uummannaq because the ground is made of rocks. And many of the houses don’t have running water. Food is also a problem. People here eat a lot of � sh, of course – in fact, the � rst thing people notice when they arrive here is the very strong smell of � sh. But every year, we run out of food (especially cheese, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables) in April. The last ship that supplies us leaves in November, so we need to store a lot of food over the winter. That explains why everybody has at least two freezers, which sounds crazy when you live in the Arctic. The winter is especially hard because we don’t see much sunshine. In December and January we only have one or two hours of light.

What is the Greenlandic lifestyle like? An important Greenlandic tradition is the ‘kaffemik’ – a social gathering which takes place around a cup of coffee. Greenlanders love drinking coffee, but the kaffemik is really about talking to each other, sharing news and making small talk. So you shouldn’t drink your coffee too quickly!

Is there anything else that you can tell us about life in Greenland? You can’t expect people to be punctual because of the weather, so they visit you when they can. Everybody has problems because of the weather. For Greenlanders, the weather and the environment are

really important: they are close to it, they eat it, and they live it.

1 How long has Chris lived in Greenland? 2 Why did it take so long for Chris to feel part of the

community? 3 How long do doctors and nurses usually stay?4 Why is it difficult to travel around Uummannaq?

5 What do people notice when they arrive at Uummannaq?

6 Why do Greenlanders have at least two freezers? 7 What is a ‘kaffemik’? 8 Why aren’t Greenlanders very punctual?

4 Imagine you live in Uummannaq. What would you like about it? What would you miss from your life now?
