  3. To connect fragmented habitats.

  4. To mitigate the impacts of climate change.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Landscape conservation strategies aim to protect and restore natural ecosystems by managing land use and promoting sustainable practices.

Which of the following is NOT a key component of landscape conservation strategies?

  1. Habitat connectivity.

  2. Buffer zones.

  3. Restoration ecology.

  4. Invasive species management.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Invasive species management is not a key component of landscape conservation strategies, although it can be an important consideration in some cases.

How can habitat connectivity be improved in fragmented landscapes?

  1. By creating wildlife corridors.

  2. By restoring degraded habitats.

  3. By reducing the size of habitat fragments.

  4. By increasing the distance between habitat fragments.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Creating wildlife corridors is a key strategy for improving habitat connectivity in fragmented landscapes.

What is the purpose of buffer zones in landscape conservation?

  1. To protect sensitive habitats from human activities.

  2. To provide a transition zone between natural and developed areas.

  3. To promote sustainable land use practices.

  4. To connect fragmented habitats.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Buffer zones are designed to protect sensitive habitats from human activities and mitigate the impacts of development.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of restoration ecology in landscape conservation?

  1. It can help to restore degraded habitats.

  2. It can increase biodiversity.
