Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions given below:

India is a land with rich biodiversity, being one of the 17 megadiverse countries and home to 7-8% of the world’s recorded species. It also houses four of the world’s 34 biodiversity hotspots: the Himalayas, Indo-Burma, Western Ghats, and Sundaland. India is also home to a vast array of plant and animal life, with over 47,000 plant species and 96,000 animal species. However, unchecked development, habitat loss, and climate change have driven several species to extinction. The region’s birds, especially, are declining rapidly, necessitating urgent measures to conserve their populations. 

The State of India’s Birds 2023 report by a team of researchers from Nature Conservation Foundation, Bengaluru, National Centre for Biological Sciences-TIFR, Bengaluru, State of India’s Birds Partnership, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Tirupati, Sálim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History, Coimbatore, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, and Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, offers a comprehensive health check for India’s avian residents, revealing critical insights into their long-term survival.

The report paints a concerning picture for many of India’s bird species. Out of the 942 bird species they assessed, a staggering 204 showed significant long-term declines, and 142 continue to experience declines today. The study revealed that birds whose diets consist mainly of other vertebrates or invertebrates (like insects) have suffered the most rapid long-term declines, while those that feast on fruits and nectar have managed to remain stable. This suggests a potential link between the health of insect populations and the well-being of many bird species. 

Furthermore, the report highlighted that birds specialising in grassland habitats have declined more rapidly than those in other environments, underscoring the urgent need to prioritise the conservation of India’s grasslands. On a brighter note, a few species, such as the Glossy Ibis and Indian Peafowl, have shown remarkable increases in their numbers. 

However, the overall trend for many iconic birds, particularly vultures, remains grim. Most vulture species in India are in a state of continued rapid decline, with the Indian Vulture showing the steepest decline. Similarly, many wetland birds, including various duck species and shorebirds, are experiencing significant declines in their populations. The study also found that migratory birds, particularly those that visit India during the winter, are declining at a faster rate than resident birds, with Arctic-breeding shorebirds being among the most severely threatened. Even some species found only in specific regions, like the Western Ghats, are facing steeper declines than other endemic or non-endemic birds.

To gather the massive amount of information and turn it into meaningful insights, the researchers turned to citizen science. Instead of relying solely on traditional, resource-intensive surveys, the researchers leveraged data uploaded by thousands of everyday birdwatchers to a platform called eBird. The platform is like a massive, collaborative digital bird-spotting diary where people record the birds they see, where they are seen, and when. 

31. Why is the diet of birds significant in understanding their population trends?

Ⓐ It determines their nesting habits.

Ⓑ It shows which birds migrate during winter.

Ⓒ It indicates a link between bird decline and insect population health.

32. Assertion (A): The Indian Vulture population is declining rapidly.

Ⓐ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Ⓑ Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Ⓒ A is true but R is false

Ⓓ A is false but R is true

33. Birds that feed mainly on fruits and nectar —

Ⓐ are declining at the same rate as other birds

Ⓑ are increasing in population faster than vultures

Ⓒ have remained relatively stable

Ⓓ are more affected by pollution

34. Choose the correct sequence of True (T) and False (F):

(i) Grassland birds are declining faster than others.

(ii) Glossy Ibis has shown a steep decline.

Ⓑ Xiaowei said that the health of insect populations affects bird species.

Ⓒ Xiaowei said the insect population is healthy and so are bird species.

Ⓓ Xiaowei told that bird health affected insect population.

37. Birds depend on insects for food. Insect populations are declining. (Join the sentences)

Ⓐ Although birds depend on insects for food, their numbers are increasing.

Ⓑ Birds depend on insects for food and insect populations are declining.
