Edited By Aruri Manasa | Updated on Nov 07, 2024 11:36 AM IST

India’s incredible diversity – of cultures, languages, religions and terrain – makes it a singularly rich haven for photographers of every hue. Many Indian youth in the cities and towns also pursue photography as a hobby, sharing their shots on image sharing sites and other social media.

For those among the hobbyists who hope to improve their skills in particular areas of photography – portrait photography, fashion photography, editorial photography, wildlife photography – or hope to turn professional, a host of courses and workshops are available. Some classes and tutorials are online; others are in-person only. Some will involve practical work and assignments; others won’t. The most expensive ones also involve an element of travel. Where the cost was in US dollars, the amount was converted into rupees as per the conversion rates prevailing in mid-February.

Question : Comprehension:
Wildlife and nature have largely been associated with humans for numerous emotional and social reasons. A simple stroll around the park amidst some birds provides a fresh breath of life and charges our batteries. Apart from a bird feeder in the backyard, we can also take up other active pastimes, such as hiking, hunting, canoeing, or wildlife photography, to relieve our parched nerves. Since prehistoric times, animals have been highly useful to us in providing food, clothing, and a source of income.
Studies indicate that woodpeckers are capable of destroying 90% of codling moth larvae residing under the bark of trees. This shows the significance of wildlife and wildlife habitat for preserving genetic diversity. Hence, places, where agriculture, forests, and fisheries depend on crops or stocks, can ensure that such living resources are enough to withstand the ever-increasing list of threats. Further, in medicine, the development of new drugs and treatments is largely dependent on wildlife and wildlife habitat. Interestingly, most pharmaceutical products are a result of discovering or developing wildlife species, not discoveries made through traditional chemistry principles. Today, most medicinal remedies contain at least one ingredient derived from a wild plant or animal.
Biodiversity is the variety of living beings within an ecosystem or on our planet. It is a measurement of the health of ecosystems. Biodiversity also plays a part in the function of climate. In terrestrial habitats, tropical areas are rich in species, whereas polar areas support lesser species. The conservation of biodiversity is inevitable for the survival of humans. Based on the passage above, choose the correct option for the following questions:

Question:
Wildlife has helped humans in all aspects except?

Option 1: Clothing

Option 2: Development of new medicines

Option 3: Education

Option 4: Providing food
