Chpt 7.3: How can we sustain Wild Species and Ecos...

What are some of the major causes of endangerment for wild species?

• Habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overhunting

• Too much screen time, not enough social media followers, and bad hair days

• Alien invasion, solar flares, and volcanic eruptions

• Excessive cuteness, lack of dancing skills, and poor fashion sense

Explain the role of the Endangered Species Act in protecting endangered species.

• The Endangered Species Act only protects species in certain regions

• The Endangered Species Act allows hunting and trapping of endangered species

• The Endangered Species Act provides legal protection, habitat conservation, and recovery plans for listed species.

• The Endangered Species Act does not provide any legal protection for listed species

Discuss the concept of genetic diversity and its significance in biodiversity preservation.

• Biodiversity preservation is not important for genetic diversity

• Genetic diversity only affects individual organisms, not entire species

• Genetic diversity is important for the survival and adaptation of species, and it contributes to overall biodiversity.

• Genetic diversity has no impact on biodiversity

What are the main strategies used for the recovery of threatened species?

• Hunting and trapping

• Deforestation and urbanization

• Chemical pollution and habitat destruction

• Habitat restoration, captive breeding, and reintroduction programs

Explain the concept of captive breeding and its role in threatened species recovery.

• Captive breeding only benefits common species, not threatened ones

• Captive breeding is a waste of resources and does not help in species recovery

• Captive breeding helps increase population numbers and provides a safety net for threatened species.

• Captive breeding has no impact on increasing population numbers
