Which type of conservation focuses on preserving the genetic diversity of a species?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Restoration ecology


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ex situ conservation involves the preservation of genetic resources outside their natural habitat, such as in zoos, gene banks, and seed banks.

What is the primary goal of sustainable use conservation?

  1. To maintain the ecological balance

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To preserve cultural heritage

  4. To generate economic benefits from natural resources


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sustainable use conservation aims to utilize natural resources in a way that ensures their long-term availability and does not harm the environment.

Which type of conservation involves the restoration of degraded ecosystems?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Restoration ecology


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Restoration ecology focuses on restoring degraded ecosystems to their natural state or a more desirable condition.

What is the main objective of in situ conservation?

  1. To preserve genetic diversity

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To generate economic benefits from natural resources


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In situ conservation aims to protect endangered species and their habitats within their natural environment.

Which type of conservation involves the preservation of cultural and historical sites?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Cultural heritage conservation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cultural heritage conservation focuses on preserving cultural and historical sites, artifacts, and traditions for future generations.

What is the primary goal of community-based conservation?

  1. To involve local communities in conservation efforts

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To generate economic benefits from natural resources


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Community-based conservation aims to involve local communities in conservation efforts, recognizing their role as stewards of their natural resources.

Which type of conservation focuses on the preservation of specific ecosystems or habitats?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Habitat conservation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Habitat conservation focuses on preserving specific ecosystems or habitats to protect the species that rely on them.

What is the main objective of species conservation?

  1. To preserve genetic diversity

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To generate economic benefits from natural resources


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Species conservation aims to protect endangered species from extinction and ensure their survival.

Which type of conservation involves the use of legal and policy frameworks to protect the environment?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Legal and policy conservation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Legal and policy conservation involves the use of laws, regulations, and policies to protect the environment and natural resources.

What is the primary goal of ecosystem conservation?

  1. To preserve genetic diversity

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To maintain the ecological balance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ecosystem conservation aims to maintain the ecological balance and integrity of ecosystems, including their biodiversity and ecological processes.

Which type of conservation focuses on reducing human impact on the environment?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Environmental impact reduction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Environmental impact reduction focuses on minimizing human activities that negatively affect the environment.

What is the main objective of biodiversity conservation?

  1. To preserve genetic diversity

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To maintain the ecological balance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Biodiversity conservation aims to preserve the genetic diversity of species and ecosystems, ensuring the survival of a wide range of organisms.

Which type of conservation involves the protection of natural resources for future generations?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Intergenerational conservation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Intergenerational conservation focuses on protecting natural resources and the environment for the benefit of future generations.

What is the primary goal of landscape conservation?

  1. To preserve genetic diversity

  2. To protect endangered species

  3. To restore degraded ecosystems

  4. To maintain the ecological connectivity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Landscape conservation aims to maintain the ecological connectivity and integrity of landscapes, ensuring the survival of species and ecosystems.

Which type of conservation involves the protection of natural resources for the benefit of local communities?

  1. In situ conservation

  2. Ex situ conservation

  3. Sustainable use

  4. Community-based conservation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
