Read the following: 1. What were once upon a time seen in millions throughout the country, are today seen only in certain pockets of India? House sparrows. Why so? Conclusively, there have been no studies to identify the exact cause behind the sudden decrease in their numbers, but studies conducted in Jharkhand, India have pegged the decrease in sparrow count to be an alarming 80 percent. And lest you may assume, this is not limited to India alone! 2. There are a variety of reasons behind the declining sparrow count; with some pointing fingers at the architecture of modern houses which leaves little space for nesting sites. Add to it the decrease in shrub vegetation areas as well and the result is a drastic loss in habitat. Excessive use of pesticides in agriculture is another cause, as it causes a decrease in reproductive efficiency of the sparrows by infecting their egg sheaths and its diet, since the chief diet of sparrows is seeds, cereals and insects which in turn are the direct victims of pesticide usage. 3. Sparrows are known to be sedentary birds that usually do not prefer undertaking long flights. However, with the advent of mobile telephony and the corresponding erection of mobile towers any and everywhere has made the sparrows an unwitting prey to technology. Mobile towers are known to emit radiation in the frequency of 900 to 1800 MHz which not only harms the thin chick skull and sparrow eggs, but also confuses and disorients the sparrow’s navigational skills. Sparrows are rarely, or rather never found in areas having mobile towers. 4. The Nature Forever Society (NFS) was founded by an Indian conservationist Mohammed Dilawar. He started his work helping the house sparrows in Nasik. Emphasizing the crying need to conserve house sparrows, Dilawar said, “The indifference caused by a lack of emotional connect has pushed these birds to the edge of extinction.” 5. The NFS started an international initiative to celebrate WorldSparrow Day. This was first celebrated on 20 March 2010. After that, every year this day was celebrated all over the world to raise the awareness about house sparrows and other common birds affected by the environment. In 2012, the sparrow was adopted as the state bird of Delhi. Question 1: Based on the passage above, match column A with column B.
