Counting Tigers: recuperação da espécie e o custo para quem vive ao lado (B2)

Tiger numbers in parts of South Asia have risen for the first time in decades, and the figure is usually presented as an unambiguous success. In the villages bordering the reserves, the arithmetic looks different. More tigers means more livestock killed, more night journeys avoided, and occasionally a death that reaches the national news for a day. Compensation schemes exist, but payment often arrives months later and requires documents that a herder may not possess. Conservation biologists increasingly accept a point that ecologists once treated as secondary: a population recovers durably only where the people living beside it are not paying the entire cost. Fenced corridors, insured herds and rapid compensation are unglamorous measures, and they attract far less funding than a photograph of a tiger. They may nevertheless decide whether the recovery lasts.

O texto sugere que a recuperação duradoura das populações de tigres depende principalmente de

  1. A) ampliar o financiamento das campanhas fotográficas que divulgam a imagem da espécie.
  2. B) exigir dos criadores locais os documentos necessários para receber indenizações.
  3. C) transferir os rebanhos das aldeias para áreas bem distantes das reservas.
  4. D) repartir os custos da convivência, de modo que as comunidades vizinhas não os assumam sozinhas.
  5. E) manter os números atuais, já que os prejuízos com o gado foram resolvidos.
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: D

A tese aparece na afirmação de que "a population recovers durably only where the people living beside it are not paying the entire cost", complementada pela lista de medidas pouco vistosas, como corredores cercados e indenização rápida. A alternativa sobre financiamento fotográfico inverte a crítica do texto, que lamenta que tais medidas "attract far less funding than a photograph of a tiger". A alternativa sobre indenizações resolvidas ignora que o pagamento "often arrives months later" e exige documentos que o criador pode não ter.
