Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears.They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains,a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.
The streams,lakes,meadows(草地),mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an idealplace for black bears have also attracted more people to the region.Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地)are endangered by highway construction.To protect the Poconos’natural beauty from irresponsible development,the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会)named the area one of America’s“Last Great Places”.
Operating out of a century—old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond,Pennsylvania,the conser.vancy’s Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection.By forging partnerships with people like Francis Ahemose,the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Ahemose’s family has farmed in the Poeono area for generations.Two years ago,Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a country farmland protection program.As a result,his family’s land can be protected from development and the Ahemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.
“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said.“The people who live there respect the land.They value quiet forests,clear streams and abundant wildlife.They are eager to help with conservation effort.’’
For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and theworld’s other“Last Great Places”.please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit US on the World Wide Web at WWW.tnc.org.
What does Bud Cook mean by“having a local presence”?(Line l,Para.5)
选项
A、Financial contributions from local business leaders.
B、Consideration of the interests of the local residents.
C、The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the area.
D、The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area.
答案
D
解析
根据第五段可知,Bud Cook把having a local presence和“与当地居民合作”归为大自然保护协会在保护Pocono时取得成功的原因。而从第三段首句可知,Bud Cook是大自然保护协会的成员,且在Pocono办公,职责是与当地居民合作,协调当地经济与生态的和谐发展,由此可推出having a local presence是指大自然保护协会在:Pocono地区设立分支机构。
