  4. To generate economic growth.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Habitat preservation is crucial for the survival of wildlife species by providing them with the necessary resources and shelter to thrive.

Which of the following is NOT a common threat to wildlife habitats?

  1. Climate change.

  2. Habitat fragmentation.

  3. Pollution.

  4. Deforestation.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Deforestation is a major threat to wildlife habitats, as it involves the clearing of forests for other uses, such as agriculture or development.

What is the term used to describe the process of improving the quality of existing habitats for wildlife?

  1. Habitat restoration.

  2. Habitat creation.

  3. Habitat enhancement.

  4. Habitat management.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Habitat enhancement involves improving the quality of existing habitats by adding features or resources that benefit wildlife.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of habitat preservation?

  1. Protecting biodiversity.

  2. Mitigating climate change.

  3. Improving air and water quality.

  4. Increasing the risk of natural disasters.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Habitat preservation generally does not increase the risk of natural disasters, but rather helps to mitigate their impacts.

What is the term used to describe the process of managing and maintaining wildlife habitats?

  1. Habitat restoration.

  2. Habitat creation.

  3. Habitat enhancement.

  4. Habitat management.
