a common social challenge to rewinding large carnivores is

concern over livestock predation and human safety leading to apposition from local communities

illegal wildlife trade most directly contributes to biodiversity loss by

driving declines and extinctions of targeted wild populations

Which is a common driver of tropical deforestation

Large-scale conversion for agriculture

species recovery plans most often aim to

reduce threats, restore populations, and improve habitat to prevent extinction

which is commonly cited as a keystone species in many ecosystems

top predators or ecosystem engineers

which best defines a biodiversity hotspot

a region with high levels of native species and significant habitat loss

how does agricultural expansion commonly reduce biodiversity

by converting natural ecosystems to monocultures and fragmenting habitat

a key factor for successful species reintroduction is

ensuring suitable habitat, low threats, genetic diversity, and long-term monitoring

which action is ex situ conservation?

captive breeding of endangered animals in a zoo

climate change reduces biodiversity primarily by

shifting climate zones faster than many species can adapt or migrate

why are biodiversity hotspots often prioritized for conservation

they contain many endemic species found nowhere else

which is an example of in situ conservation

protected wildlife reserve where species live naturally

a key limitation of ex situ conservation is

it can be costly and may not preserve natural behaviors or ecological roles

which statement about introduced species is generally true

they sometimes become invasive and harm native species and ecosystems

controlling invasive marine species is particularly difficult because

ocean connectivity and complex life cycles make eradication and containment challenging

which distinguishes a mass extinction from background extinction

mass extinctions involve many species lost in a relatively short time

a well-managed ecotourism program can support conservation by

generating revenue for protected area management and giving local

how can new diseases contribute to biodiversity loss

by reducing population sized and causing local extinctions

what is a major ecological consequence of habitat fragmentation

greater genetic isolation of populations
