Question

which of the following is a common method of conserving biodiversity?
a. ignoring climate change
b. increasing urban sprawl
c. establishing protected areas
d. promoting habitat destruction
which of the following practices can help mitigate climate change impacts on biodiversity?
a. increasing fossil fuel use
b. reducing greenhouse gas emissions
c. promoting deforestation
d. expanding urban areas

Explanation:

First Question:

To conserve biodiversity, we need actions that protect species and their habitats. Option a (ignoring climate change) harms biodiversity. Option b (increasing urban sprawl) destroys habitats. Option d (promoting habitat destruction) also harms. Option c (establishing protected areas) safeguards habitats and species, a key biodiversity conservation method.

To mitigate climate change impacts on biodiversity, we need actions that reduce climate change drivers. Option a (increasing fossil fuel use) increases greenhouse gases, worsening climate change. Option c (promoting deforestation) reduces carbon sequestration. Option d (expanding urban areas) destroys habitats. Option b (reducing greenhouse gas emissions) slows climate change, helping biodiversity.

Answer:

c. Establishing protected areas
