1. : What is the primary goal of wildlife habitat management?
(A) To maximize human access to natural resources
(B) To enhance and maintain habitats to support diverse wildlife populations
(C) To reduce the size of wildlife habitats for urban development
(D) To control wildlife populations through hunting
2. : Which of the following practices is commonly used in habitat management to improve conditions for wildlife?
(A) Deforestation to increase land available for agriculture
(B) Restoration of degraded habitats to their natural state
(C) Introduction of non-native species to control pests
(D) Expansion of urban areas into wildlife habitats
3. : What does “habitat fragmentation” refer to in the context of wildlife management?
(A) The process of combining multiple small habitats into a larger one
(B) The creation of new habitats through conservation efforts
(C) The division of a large, continuous habitat into smaller, isolated patches
(D) The integration of wildlife habitats into urban areas
4. : How can “corridors” benefit wildlife in fragmented habitats?
(A) By increasing the isolation of wildlife populations
(B) By connecting isolated patches of habitat, allowing for movement and gene flow
(C) By reducing the overall size of available habitats
(D) By introducing new species to the habitat
5. : What is the purpose of creating “buffer zones” around protected wildlife areas?
(A) To increase human activity in protected areas
(B) To provide additional habitat and reduce human-wildlife conflicts
(C) To limit wildlife movement into surrounding areas
(D) To decrease the size of the protected area
6. : Which of the following is an example of a habitat management technique that promotes biodiversity?
(A) Monoculture planting in wildlife reserves
(B) Controlled burns to maintain open habitats and promote plant diversity
(C) Expansion of agricultural fields into natural habitats
(D) Introduction of large predators into urban areas
7. : What role do “protected areas” play in wildlife habitat management?
(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
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
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
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
