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, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction Toprotect the Poconos’natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy 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 conservancy’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 Altemese, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14, 000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Franchl worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses 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 the world’s other "Last Great Places," please call 1-888-5646864. Or visit us on the World Wid Web at

What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence"(Line 1, 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
信息归纳题。文中出现“having a local presence”的语境为Bud Cook将大自然保护协会的成功归功于此。由此可知,信息应在之前提到的有关Bud和协会所做的事情。第四段“Two years agoFrancis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program.”提及当地农民Francis与协会合作,将他的农场并入农田保护项目,由此可知,having a local presence应指一个机构。选项D中branch“分支机构”符合句意,故答案为D。
