  1. Mitigation

  2. Adaptation

  3. Conservation

  4. Restoration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Restoration is the term used to describe the process of restoring degraded ecosystems to their natural state.

Which of the following is not a key challenge to biodiversity conservation?

  1. Climate change

  2. Pollution

  3. Invasive species

  4. Lack of public awareness


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lack of public awareness is not a key challenge to biodiversity conservation, as it is not a direct cause of habitat loss, climate change, or pollution.
