SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q108

Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the passage:

Wildlife conservation has increased in importance since governments and NGOs have realized that locals are vital guardians of the environment. Instead of mandating top-down orders, successful initiatives recruit villagers to protect threatened species, serve as informants, and generate income from ecotourism. In other parts of Africa and Asia, community rangers are taught tracking and first aid, while women's organizations produce handicrafts out of sustainable forest products. These programs not only restrict poaching but also create ownership and pride in the maintenance of biodiversity. There are still obstacles, however; low funding levels, human-wildlife conflict, and uncertain land-use rights can undo success. Continued dialogue between stakeholders and equitable benefit-sharning mechanisms are essential in guaranteeing that conservation outcomes are directed to community well-being.
