Match the Restoration Principle to the scenario

• Adopt a reference ecosystem

• Removing invasive species and working to bring back native species

• Define clear goals

• Making a 10-year plan for recovery efforts

• Integrate science and practice

• Using a healthy area as a template for restoration efforts

• Match restoration to degradation

• Restoring a climax community

• Full recovery where possible

• Recursive implementation of restoration initiatives based on continued data analysis

Choose 3 of the 6 principles of Restoration Ecology. Name them, describe them, and give a real-world example of their application from either of the 2 case studies covered in class. Be specific in your examples and USE YOUR OWN WORDS. Explanations copied and pasted from class resources will result in an immediate zero for this question.

Pioneer species are:

• Organisms that immigrate to new areas

• Organisms that can adapt to many kinds of ecosystems

• The first organisms to leave an area after a disaster

• The first organisms to return to an area after a disaster

How do human activities such as habitat restoration projects, species preservation efforts, and nature conservancy groups typically impact the environment?

• They often lead to increased habitat destruction and species extinction.

• They can help restore habitats, protect endangered species, and conserve biodiversity.

• They have minimal impact on the environment due to their localized nature.

• They primarily focus on promoting hunting and fishing activities.
