with his archeological finds of early humans, Richard Leakey became famous as the conservationist who turned the tide against elephant poaching Bringing the slaughter of Kenya's elephants under control required a military solution, and Leakey was not afraid to apply it Many poachers were killed, giving Leakey a reputation for being a cold- blooded obsessive who put animals before people Moreover, his efforts to eradicate corruption in Kenya's wildlife management system won him many enemies But the birth of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the eradication of elephant poaching and the ban on the international trade in ivory are his legacy, and they form the basis of Wildlife Wars This surprisingly personal memoir has much to tell about the fragile relationships between conservationists and governments It is a story not only of Kenya, but of the continuing cost of trying to save the world's wildlife from extinction Life for the average person in Africa is tough, and basic needs are far from being met This is the background against which Leakey fought his war, and he constantly refers to the threat poverty poses to the preservation of Africa's spectacular wildlife Leakey's argument, here and in recent lectures, is that national parks managed exclusively for biodiversity protection must be created, and that this protection of our wildlife heritage should be funded by international sources However, in the early 1990s the development agencies favoured "community-based" conservation Leakey's stand on protection of parks was seen as a lack of respect for local communities, and used against him when he resigned as head of the KWS in 1994 Recently donors and conservationists have come to recognise the limitations of purely local conservation programmes; there is a growing consensus that the poor are unlikely to manage wildlife resources wisely for the long term because their needs are immediate Wildlife Wars continues where Leakey's memoir One Life left off It spans a 13-year period, beginning in 1989 when Leakey became head of the KWS Then the elephant slaughter was at its height across Africa; it is estimated that between 1975 and 1989 the international markets for ivory in Europe, the United States and Asia led to the death of 1.2 m elephants, slaughtered for their ivory to make piano keys, games and fashion accessories Kenya's herds were reduced by more than 85% by armed poachers, who turned their guns on anything and anyone To stop this killing required changing the perceptions of ivory users so as to eliminate the markets, as well as mounting an armed force against the poachers With both humour and seriousness, Leakey explains the sacrifices he had to make in order to see his vision succeed Despite the gravity of the situation, Leakey makes light of the sometimes comical circumstances, although it is clear that his life was at risk many times and he worked under tremendous pressure For many, however, the real question is why this paleoanthropologist should risk his life for wildlife The answer may lie in Leakey's own depiction of himself, although obviously aggressive and driven while running KWS, as essentially reflective Presenting in moving terms his introduction to elephant emotions and society, he describes his outrage at the moral and ethical implications of poaching and culling for ivory, arguing that elephants, apes, whales and dolphins have emotions so like those of humans that they deserve to be treated as such Hard-core wildlife groups sniggered at his 'bunny- hugging' tendencies, but they underestimated his impact It is impossible to put a value on Leakey's work during those years As the elephant population began to recover, Kenya's tourist industry revived to become the country's main source of revenue An international awareness campaign centred on an ivory bonfire, which led to the ban on ivory trade and the collapse of ivory prices Richard Leakey is most well-known for A increasing wildlife budgets B successfully stopping illegal hunting C removing the ban on the ivory trade D helping to identify man’s origins The word poaching in paragraph is closest meaning to A cooking B approaching C hunting illegal D stealing The word fragile in paragraph has the opposite meaning to A sturdy B delicate C flimsy D brittle In paragraph 3, Leakey makes the point that A conservation should be global responsibility B a war must be fought against poverty C Africa’s wildlife is an international attraction D There is insufficient money to establish parks It is now becoming accepted that A Leakey had no regard for local communities B conservation programs should be under local control C donors have not yet received sufficient recognition D poverty makes regional conservation programmes unreliable The writers says that between 1975 and 1989 A the perceptions of the use of ivory changed B elephants were used to make piano keys C the elephant population was decimated D demand for ivory began to decrease Leakey considers himself A amusing B sentimental C contemplative D obsessive The word gravity in paragraph is closest meaning to A importance B force C weight D seriousness What does the writer imply in the last paragraph? A a disease had affected elephants B Leakey’s views are overly sentimental C Leakey’s success in doubt D Leakey’s work had wide-range effects 10 This passage is taken from A an article about endangered species B a book about Richard Leakey C an article about Kenya D a book review Part 10 Read the following texts about some famous walls around the world, then choose from the four texts about walls (A-D) to answer the questions that follow The texts may be chosen more than once A GUIDE TO GREAT WALLS A Erected in 1961 to prevent East German citizens crossing to the West, the Berlin Wall initially consisted mainly of barbed wire and armed guards Within months a concrete wall began to appear, to be replaced on three separate occasions by ever more sophisticated versions, increasingly resistant to breakthroughs On the east side of the wall, tank traps and ditches were built as protection against attack, and as a further deterrent to would-be escapees Although over 170 people lost their lives in Berlin trying to flee to the West, human will and ingenuity often prevailed, with a number of successful escape attempts via tunnels and, on one occasion, in a home-made hot air balloon The 107-kilometre-long structure lost its relevance in 1989, when Hungary allowed East Germans to pass through their country on their way to Austria and West Germany, and after travel restrictions were lifted, people began to demolish whole sections of the wall Now very little of it remains and the land has been used for housing and other property development B Stretching for several thousand kilometres from the east coast of the country to the Gobi Desert, the Great Wall of China is said to be the only man-made structure visible from outer space The oldest section was begun in 221 BC, using soldiers and local people, as well as intellectuals who had been sentenced to forced labour under the repressive Qin dynasty Not surprisingly, the layers of compacted earth used to construct the wall soon began to crumble, and it was left to the later Han dynasty to restore and add to it By now the wall had evolved from a mere defence system for keeping out marauding tribes into a safe haven where trade could flourish, and bustling market towns sprang up at the many busy gates But the ornate and imposing structure with which we are familiar from photographs was not added until the fourteenth century by Ming, using advanced brick-building technology It was he who joined the three separate walls to create this truly impressive feat of construction C Situated in the north of England at one of the narrowest parts of the country, Hadrian’s Wall is arguably the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain Construction of the wall began in 120 AD on the orders of Emperor Hadrian, who wanted to mark the northernmost boundary of his Empire The 117-kilometre wall was manned by thousands of troops, who kept watch from numerous turrets and mile castles, and who lived in a series of forts situated at strategic locations In the centuries following its abandonment around 400 AD, its stones were used by local people to build houses, walls and even churches Nevertheless, spectacular stretches of the wall remain and a number of forts and museums along its length can be visited, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Roman soldiers who patrolled it Although built of stone, the wall itself is vulnerable to erosion and visitors are discouraged from walking on it Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, Hadrian’s Wall ranks alongside some of the more famous architectural treasures in the world According to the information given in the texts, which wall … can be seen from a great distance?
