a) They are areas designated for industrial development
b) They are set aside to conserve wildlife and their habitats from human disturbances
c) They are zones where hunting and fishing are unrestricted
d) They are areas that are continually modified for agriculture
Answer: b) They are set aside to conserve wildlife and their habitats from human disturbances
8. How does “habitat restoration” benefit wildlife populations?
a) By creating new habitats that are not suitable for wildlife
b) By improving and rehabilitating degraded habitats to support wildlife
c) By increasing human infrastructure within wildlife areas
d) By reducing the availability of natural resources
Answer: b) By improving and rehabilitating degraded habitats to support wildlife
9. What is “adaptive management” in the context of wildlife habitat management?
a) A static approach where management strategies are fixed and unchanging
b) A flexible approach where management practices are adjusted based on monitoring and changing conditions
c) A method that focuses solely on increasing wildlife populations
d) A strategy that excludes human involvement in wildlife management
Answer: b) A flexible approach where management practices are adjusted based on monitoring and changing conditions
10. Which of the following is a potential challenge in wildlife habitat management?
a) Increasing habitat connectivity between isolated areas
b) Balancing conservation goals with human needs and activities
c) Enhancing natural habitats through controlled fires
d) Expanding protected areas into urban regions
Answer: b) Balancing conservation goals with human needs and activities
