The Sariska National Park, located in Rajasthan covers an area of 800 km in Aravalli hills. There are
varieties of animals in this park such as leopards, deer like sambhar, chitals, and nilgai, wild boar,
langur, four horned antelope, hyena, jungle cat, etc. This park took part in the ‘Project Tiger’ in the year
1979 and became a national park in 1982. The misfortune is that though it is a National Park and a part
of the Project Tiger, it has no tigers left in it.

India. Through this, parks get funds to save tigers. In spite of this, the National Park Committee could
not save the tigers of Sariska from extinction.
Without animals, there will be no forests. Hence, we should help save the rich wildlife. We may do this
by either giving donations, visiting national parks or sanctuaries, being members of organizations that
are working towards saving wildlife or just spreading awareness among people on the importance of
wildlife.

12. Which of these CANNOT be found presently in the Sariska National Park?
A) chitals B) wild boars
C) tigers D) leopards
Answer: C) tigers

13. Based on the passage, why was ‘Project Tiger’ started?
A) to make tigers known to people B) to save tigers from being killed
C) to punish those who hunt tigers D) to create more forests for tigers
Answer: B) to save tigers from being killed

14. Which of these is a possible way to save wildlife?
A) giving away our animals to other countries B) not going to national parks for picnics
