6.6.2 Conservation strategies

• Sustainable resource use may limit economic growth.

  True
• Climate change can cause coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef
• Match the threat to biodiversity with its example:

  Overexploitation ↔️ Depletion of tuna populations

  Pollution ↔️ Oil spills in the ocean

  Invasive Species ↔️ Zebra mussels in the Great Lakes

  Habitat Destruction ↔️ Deforestation in the Amazon
• Understanding the key threats to biodiversity is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies.


  True
• What is the primary goal of sustainable resource management?

  Meet current needs without compromising future generations
• In situ conservation allows species to maintain their ecological relationships.


  True
• Habitat restoration aims to rehabilitate degraded or fragmented habitats
• What is the role of local communities in community-based conservation?

  Manage and protect natural resources
• What is ex situ conservation designed to achieve?

  Preserve species outside natural habitats
• Establishing protected areas like national parks is a key in situ conservation method
• What is the purpose of creating wildlife corridors between protected areas?

  Allow species movement
• Order the key in situ conservation methods from most to least resource-intensive.

  1️⃣ Protected Areas

  2️⃣ Wildlife Corridors

  3️⃣ Habitat Restoration

  4️⃣ Community-Based Conservation

  5️⃣ Sustainable Resource Use
• What is the primary benefit of storing seeds in seed banks?

  Preserves genetic diversity
• Match the conservation strategy with its description:

  Habitat Protection ↔️ Establishing protected areas like national parks

  Species Management ↔️ Implementing breeding programs

  Sustainable Resource Use ↔️ Balancing extraction with ecosystem health
• Invasive species can alter food webs and reduce biodiversity
• What is the primary goal of sustainable resource management?

  Meet current needs without compromising future generations
• In situ conservation refers to the protection and management of species within their natural habitats
• Community-based conservation requires ongoing collaboration to be effective


  True
• Steps of in situ conservation strategies

  1️⃣ Establish protected areas

  2️⃣ Rehabilitate degraded habitats

  3️⃣ Create wildlife corridors

  4️⃣ Involve local communities

  5️⃣ Promote sustainable resource use
• What is ex situ conservation?

  Protection outside natural habitats
• The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) promotes the sustainable use of biodiversity
• Habitat protection is highly effective in preserving biodiversity


  True
• What are conservation strategies designed to ensure?

  Preservation and sustainability
• Conservation strategies often involve habitat protection, species management, and sustainable resource use
• What are the five primary threats to biodiversity?

  Habitat destruction, climate change, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution
• Invasive species can alter food webs and biodiversity.


  True
• What are the five key threats to biodiversity?

  Habitat destruction, climate change, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution
• Habitat destruction leads to the loss of species and ecosystems
• Order the objectives of sustainable resource management:

  1️⃣ Conserving natural resources

  2️⃣ Minimizing environmental impact

  3️⃣ Promoting long-term economic viability
• What is the purpose of establishing protected areas in in situ conservation?

  Safeguard habitats and species
• Wildlife corridors allow for species movement and gene flow between protected areas.

  True
• In situ conservation strategies maintain healthy, functioning ecosystems
• Why is in situ conservation crucial for preserving biodiversity?

  Maintains natural evolutionary processes
• Habitat restoration aims to improve the suitability of degraded habitats for native species.


  True
• Community-based conservation involves local communities in the management of natural resources
• Ex situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitats.

  True
• Captive breeding programs help restore wild populations
• Cryopreservation is a simple and inexpensive method for long-term genetic preservation.

  False
• What is the main impact of habitat destruction on biodiversity?

  Loss of species and ecosystems
• Pollution from chemicals and waste can harm wildlife and their habitats.
