Which conservation strategy involves protecting and managing natural habitats to ensure the survival of species?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Population Ecology


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Habitat conservation focuses on preserving and managing the natural habitats of species to ensure their survival and the maintenance of biodiversity.

What is the primary goal of sustainable resource management?

  1. Protecting Endangered Species

  2. Maximizing Resource Extraction

  3. Minimizing Environmental Impact

  4. Increasing Resource Consumption


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sustainable resource management aims to minimize the environmental impact of resource extraction and utilization while ensuring the long-term availability of resources.

Which conservation technique involves the study and manipulation of genetic diversity to preserve and enhance populations?

  1. Habitat Restoration

  2. Species Reintroduction

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Population Ecology


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Conservation genetics focuses on understanding and manipulating the genetic diversity of populations to maintain their viability and resilience.

What is the main objective of population ecology in conservation?

  1. Studying Species Interactions

  2. Predicting Population Growth

  3. Managing Genetic Diversity

  4. Conserving Habitats


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Population ecology in conservation aims to understand and predict population growth patterns to inform conservation strategies and management decisions.

Which conservation strategy involves reintroducing species to their former habitats to restore ecological balance?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Species Reintroduction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Species reintroduction involves translocating individuals of a species back to their former habitats to restore their populations and ecological functions.

What is the primary focus of habitat restoration in conservation?

  1. Protecting Existing Habitats

  2. Creating New Habitats

  3. Managing Genetic Diversity

  4. Reintroducing Species


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Habitat restoration involves creating or restoring habitats that have been degraded or destroyed to support the survival and recovery of species.

Which conservation technique aims to reduce the impact of human activities on wildlife and their habitats?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Human-Wildlife Conflict Mitigation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Human-wildlife conflict mitigation focuses on reducing conflicts between humans and wildlife, such as crop raiding and livestock predation, to promote coexistence.

What is the role of conservation education in promoting biodiversity conservation?

  1. Raising Awareness

  2. Encouraging Sustainable Practices

  3. Protecting Habitats

  4. Reintroducing Species


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Conservation education aims to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the need for conservation, encouraging individuals and communities to adopt sustainable practices.

Which conservation strategy involves establishing protected areas to safeguard natural ecosystems and species?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Protected Area Management


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Protected area management involves establishing and managing protected areas, such as national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, to conserve natural ecosystems and species.

What is the main objective of sustainable agriculture in conservation?

  1. Maximizing Crop Yields

  2. Reducing Pesticide Use

  3. Conserving Soil and Water

  4. Increasing Land Use Efficiency


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sustainable agriculture in conservation aims to minimize the environmental impact of agricultural practices while conserving soil, water, and other natural resources.

Which conservation technique involves monitoring and managing populations to prevent their decline or extinction?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Population Management


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Population management involves monitoring and managing populations to ensure their long-term viability and prevent their decline or extinction.

What is the primary goal of conservation translocation?

  1. Reintroducing Species

  2. Protecting Habitats

  3. Managing Genetic Diversity

  4. Reducing Human-Wildlife Conflict


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Conservation translocation involves moving individuals or populations of a species to new locations to establish or reinforce populations or to mitigate threats.

Which conservation strategy focuses on reducing the demand for wildlife products to combat illegal wildlife trade?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Demand Reduction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Demand reduction in conservation aims to reduce the demand for wildlife products, such as ivory and exotic animal skins, to combat illegal wildlife trade and protect endangered species.

What is the role of conservation law enforcement in protecting biodiversity?

  1. Raising Awareness

  2. Managing Genetic Diversity

  3. Reintroducing Species

  4. Enforcing Conservation Regulations


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Conservation law enforcement involves enforcing laws and regulations to protect wildlife and their habitats, combat poaching and illegal wildlife trade, and ensure compliance with conservation policies.

Which conservation technique involves using captive breeding programs to maintain and increase populations of endangered species?

  1. Habitat Conservation

  2. Sustainable Resource Management

  3. Conservation Genetics

  4. Captive Breeding


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Captive breeding involves breeding endangered species in captivity to maintain and increase their populations, with the goal of eventually reintroducing them to their natural habitats.
