Question
Shanti’s grandfather told her that when he was a small child he saw more birds like sparrows and mynah than he sees today. Can you make two guesses why their numbers have become less?
Solution
Deforestation (cutting of trees), increase in the number of buildings and pollution are the main reasons behind the reduced number of sparrows and mynah.
