4.5.2 Conservation Strategies

• What are conservation strategies primarily designed to protect and preserve?

  Biodiversity, habitats, and resources
• Key elements of conservation strategies include habitat protection, species management, sustainable resource use, education and awareness, and legislation and policy
• Habitat protection and restoration is a key element of conservation strategies.
• Match the conservation strategy type with its example:

  Habitat Protection ↔️ Establishing Serengeti National Park

  Sustainable Resource Use ↔️ Forest management in Finland

  Education and Awareness ↔️ WWF campaigns
• Order the following conservation strategies based on their focus:

  1️⃣ Habitat Protection

  2️⃣ Species Management

  3️⃣ Sustainable Resource Use

  4️⃣ Education and Awareness

  5️⃣ Legislation and Policy
• Which organization uses campaigns to raise awareness about marine conservation?

  WWF
• The Endangered Species Act in the United States is an example of conservation legislation.
• Sustainable resource use ensures current needs are met without compromising future availability
• What is the purpose of establishing protected areas in in-situ conservation?

  Conserve biodiversity
• Managing species in their natural habitats is a key method of in-situ conservation.
• Match the in-situ conservation method with its example:

  Establishing protected areas ↔️ Serengeti National Park

  Implementing ecological restoration ↔️ Reforestation in the Amazon

  Managing species in natural habitats ↔️ California Condor recovery plan
• What formula is used in the California Condor recovery plan to ensure population growth?

  population_{t + 1} = population_{t} + birth_{t} - death_{t} + immigration_{t} - emigration_{t}</latex>
• Ex-situ conservation involves preserving species and habitats outside their natural environment
• Which institution is known for its breeding program for pandas as part of ex-situ conservation?

  San Diego Zoo
• Botanical gardens contribute to ex-situ conservation by cultivating a variety of plant species.
• Match the ex-situ conservation method with its example:

  Zoos ↔️ Breeding program for pandas

  Seed Banks ↔️ Svalbard Global Seed Vault

  Gene Banks ↔️ National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation
• What is the primary purpose of ex-situ conservation efforts like breeding programs in zoos?

  Educate the public
• Conservation strategies are methods to protect biodiversity, habitats, and natural resources
• Habitat protection and restoration is a key element of conservation strategies.
• What is the purpose of education and awareness in conservation strategies?

  Educate the public
• The Endangered Species Act is an example of legislation and policy
• Which protected area is mentioned as an example of habitat protection in conservation strategies?

  Serengeti National Park
• In-situ conservation preserves species outside their natural environment.

  False
• Establishing protected areas is a key method of in-situ conservation
• What formula is used in the California Condor recovery plan to track population growth?

  $population_{t + 1} =$$population_{t} +$$birth_{t} - death_{t} +$$immigration_{t} - emigration_{t}$
• Match the ex-situ conservation method with its example:

  Zoos ↔️ San Diego Zoo breeding program for pandas

  Botanical Gardens ↔️ Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew collecting rare plant species

  Gene Banks ↔️ National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation storing livestock genes

  Seed Banks ↔️ Svalbard Global Seed Vault storing seeds
• What is one benefit of zoos in ex-situ conservation?

  Maintain genetic diversity
• Ex-situ conservation involves preserving species in their natural habitats.

  False
• The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is an example of a seed bank.
• Why are protected areas important for conservation?

  Preserve biodiversity
• Protected areas help maintain ecological balance
• Climate change is a significant challenge for protected areas.
• Which national park is mentioned as an example of a protected area?

  Yellowstone National Park
• The Endangered Species Act (ESA) protects threatened and endangered species.
• Match the international agreement with its purpose:

  Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ↔️ Conserves biodiversity and promotes sustainable use of biological resources

  CITES ↔️ Regulates international trade of endangered species

  Ramsar Convention ↔️ Protects and promotes wise use of wetlands

  Bonn Convention ↔️ Conserves migratory species and their habitats
• What is one purpose of international conservation agreements?

  Habitat protection
• What is the purpose of CITES?

  Regulates illegal trade
• The Ramsar Convention aims to conserve wetlands for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
• The Bonn Convention focuses on conserving migratory species and their habitats
• What is the geographical scope of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)?
