7. The Greater Adjutant Stork

What have you learnt about the Greater Adjutant Stork?

(গ্ৰেটাৰ এডজুটেন্ট ষ্ট’ৰ্কৰ বিষয়ে তুমি কি শিকিলা?)

Ans: I have learnt that the Greater Adjutant Stork is a rare and endangered bird. At present, it breeds mainly in Assam and Cambodia. Its population is decreasing because of habitat loss and environmental changes. It is one of the largest living storks. It has a long neck, a neck pouch, a large beak and a bald head. It lives mainly in wetland areas and feeds on fish, frogs, insects, reptiles and other small creatures. In Assam, it is locally known as Hargila or Bortokola.

8. Discussion

Topic 1: Ways to protect the Greater Adjutant Stork from extinction

(বিলুপ্তিৰ পৰা গ্ৰেটাৰ এডজুটেন্ট ষ্ট’ৰ্কক ৰক্ষা কৰাৰ উপায়)

Ans: I think we should save the Greater Adjutant Stork because it is an important part of nature. If it becomes extinct, the ecological balance may be affected. We should protect its natural habitat, preserve wetlands, stop unnecessary cutting of trees, reduce pollution, create safe breeding places and take care of fallen chicks. We should also spread awareness among people about the importance of protecting the Hargila.

(মই ভাবোঁ যে গ্ৰেটাৰ এডজুটেন্ট ষ্ট’ৰ্কক ৰক্ষা কৰা উচিত, কাৰণ ই প্ৰকৃতিৰ এক গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ অংশ। ই বিলুপ্ত হ’লে পৰিৱেশৰ ভাৰসাম্যৰ ওপৰত প্ৰভাৱ পৰিব পাৰে। আমি ইয়াৰ প্ৰাকৃতিক আৱাসস্থল আৰু আৰ্দ্ৰভূমি সংৰক্ষণ কৰিব লাগে, অপ্ৰয়োজনীয়ভাৱে গছ কটা বন্ধ কৰিব লাগে, প্ৰদূষণ কমাব লাগে, নিৰাপদ প্ৰজননস্থল সৃষ্টি কৰিব লাগে আৰু তললৈ পৰি যোৱা পোৱালিবোৰৰ যত্ন ল’ব লাগে। লগতে হাড়গিলা সংৰক্ষণৰ বিষয়ে মানুহৰ মাজত সজাগতা বৃদ্ধি কৰিব লাগে।)

Topic 2: Ways to preserve nature

(প্ৰকৃতি সংৰক্ষণ কৰাৰ উপায়)

Ans: We should preserve nature because it gives us clean air, water, food and a healthy environment. We can preserve nature by planting more trees, protecting forests and wetlands, reducing pollution, saving water and protecting wildlife. We should avoid wasting natural resources and encourage others to take care of the environment. By protecting nature, we can maintain ecological balance and build a better future for all living beings.

(আমি প্ৰকৃতি সংৰক্ষণ কৰা উচিত, কাৰণ প্ৰকৃতিয়ে আমাক পৰিষ্কাৰ বায়ু, পানী, খাদ্য আৰু সুস্থ পৰিৱেশ দিয়ে। অধিক গছ ৰোপণ কৰি, বনাঞ্চল আৰু আৰ্দ্ৰভূমি সংৰক্ষণ কৰি, প্ৰদূষণ কমাই, পানী সংৰক্ষণ কৰি আৰু বন্যপ্ৰাণীক ৰক্ষা কৰি আমি প্ৰকৃতি সংৰক্ষণ কৰিব পাৰোঁ। প্ৰাকৃতিক সম্পদ অপচয় কৰা উচিত নহয় আৰু আনকো পৰিৱেশ ৰক্ষা কৰিবলৈ উৎসাহিত কৰিব লাগে।)
