7.4.3 Conservation of Habitats

• Forests are an example of a terrestrial habitat.


  True
• Urban habitats are human-modified environments.


  True
• Pollution is a major cause of habitat degradation.

  True
• Order the main causes of habitat loss and degradation:

  1️⃣ Urbanization

  2️⃣ Agriculture

  3️⃣ Deforestation

  4️⃣ Climate change

  5️⃣ Pollution

  6️⃣ Invasive species
• Clearing land for agriculture reduces biodiversity.


  True
• Pollution contaminates soil, water, and air, harming plants and animals.

  True
• Habitat restoration involves rebuilding degraded ecosystems to their natural state.


  True
• Sustainable land management balances human land use with environmental protection.


  True
• How does sustainable tourism contribute to habitat conservation?

  Supports tourism revenue by preserving natural beauty
• The Great Barrier Reef conservation efforts include sustainable fishing practices.
• A habitat provides the necessary resources and conditions for a species to thrive
• Match the habitat type with its example:

  Terrestrial ↔️ Forest

  Aquatic ↔️ River

  Transitional ↔️ Wetland
• Order the causes of habitat loss from most to least impactful:

  1️⃣ Urbanization

  2️⃣ Agriculture

  3️⃣ Deforestation

  4️⃣ Climate change
• Match the habitat conservation measure with its example:

  Habitat Restoration ↔️ Planting native trees

  Protected Areas ↔️ National Parks

  Sustainable Land Management ↔️ Sustainable farming
• Urbanization leads to the fragmentation of ecosystems
• Climate change can lead to species migration or extinction
• Addressing the root causes of habitat loss is crucial for conserving biodiversity
• National parks are examples of designated protected areas.
• Wetlands purify water, which benefits human health
• What is one successful outcome of conservation efforts in Yellowstone National Park?

  Reintroduction of gray wolves
• Areas between land and water are called transitional habitats
• The loss of habitats is a major threat to biodiversity
• Habitats provide food, water, and shelter as necessary resources
• What are the main causes of habitat loss and degradation worldwide?

  Urbanization, agriculture, deforestation, climate change, pollution, invasive species
• Why does deforestation contribute to habitat loss?

  Destroys forest habitats and reduces carbon sequestration
• What is the impact of invasive species on native ecosystems?

  Compete with native species for resources
• What is an example of habitat restoration?

  Planting native trees in deforested areas
• What is one ecological benefit of habitat conservation?

  Preserving biodiversity
• Urban parks provide spaces for recreation and mental health benefits.

  True
• The Loess Plateau Restoration transformed a severely degraded landscape into a mosaic of forests, grasslands, and farmland.
