Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

The unconducive weather conditions in January and early February of 2022 may have made it difficult for the bird lovers this season to conveniently sight the winter migratory waterbirds, which make their way to different wetlands of Punjab and other parts of the country through the central Asian flyway. But an encouraging trend of waterbirds and species diversity has been observed from the wetlands. Every winter, the birds make their way to India through the central Asian flyway, which covers a large continental area of Europe Asia between the Arctic and the Indian Oceans. Every year, the Wildlife Department of Forests and Wildlife Preservation, Punjab, conducts waterbirds census exercise in six major and most biodiverse wetlands, which include the Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary, the Ropar Conservation Reserve, the Harika Wildlife Sanctuary, the Kanjli Wetland, the Keshopur ­Miani Community Reserve and the Ranjit Sagar Conservation Reserve. However, the census could not be done this year on account of dense fog conditions. Instead, a “species richness” survey was conducted by the Department of Forests and Wildlife Preservation with the support from WWF ­India. R.K. Mishra, Chief Wildlife Warden, said a promising trend of waterbirds and species diversity has been observed from the wetlands of Pathankot and Gurdaspur district as the marshlands are full of water due to good rains and good flow into the Ravi River. “Flocks of northern lapwings numbering up to 191 were observed in Gurdaspur wetlands which are higher in comparison to the previous three years’ average of 105. Similarly, 655 common cranes were recorded this year compared to the previous three years’ average of 555”. Pointing out that 91 species of waterbirds were recorded from the six protected wetlands during the water bird species richness survey, Gitanjali Kanwar, Coordinator —Rivers, Wetlands and Water Policy, WWF­India said: “The water bird count was highest in the Harike Wildlife Sanctuary followed by the Keshopur ­Miani Community Reserve, Ropar Conservation Reserve and Nangal Wildlife Sanctuary. The Ropar and Nangal wetlands host the three migratory water species of the family Podicipedidae i.e., black necked Grebe, Horned Grebe and Greater Crested Grebe along with the resident Little Grebe. “The year 2022 has been very difficult and challenging in relation to conducting the water bird census exercise in wetlands of Punjab. The peak migratory bird season overlapped with the outbreak of the third wave of COVID­19 pandemic,” said the official. Diverse sightings MS. Kanwar said, “the species of high conservation significance recorded during the survey include Bonelli’s Eagle, Greater Spotted Eagle, Northern Lapwing, Peregrine Falcon, Steppe Eagle, Western Black­tailed Godwit, Black­headed Ibis, Sarus Crane, Painted Stork, Woolly necked Stork, Common Pochard, Common Crane, Ferruginous Pochard, Pallid Harrier, River Tern, Indian Spotted Eagle, River Lapwing, Oriental Darter and Eurasian Curlew”.
