Question

what is the primary purpose of the international union for conservation of * 1 point nature (iucn)?
to regulate international trade agreements and keep out invasive species
to enforce environmental laws in national parks
to fund renewable energy projects
to monitor and assess the conservation status of species worldwide
to promote agricultural development and unsustainable practices
why is biodiversity important to ecosystem stability? *
it reduces the number of species competing for resources
it increases resilience to environmental changes to ensure long - term healthy ecosystems
it ensures that only the strongest species survive to help force out exotic species
it limits the spread of invasive species by reducing habitat variety
it promotes uniformity in genetic traits across populations

Explanation:

• The IUCN's main role is to monitor and assess species conservation status. This is its core function as it provides the Red List of Threatened Species.
• Biodiversity increases ecosystem resilience. More diverse ecosystems can better handle environmental changes (e.g., a disease affects one species, others can fill its role).

Answer:

• First question: To monitor and assess the conservation status of species worldwide
• Second question: It increases resilience to environmental changes to ensure long - term healthy ecosystems
