Question

what do scientists do with animals as part of a reintroduction program?* 1 p
hold them in zoos and train them for human interaction
breed them in captivity and release them back into the wild
keep them in zoos and use them for educational programs
tag them for tracking
capture them from the wild and relocate them to urban areas
which of the following best describes the major environmental concern(s) * 1 point associated with unsustainable palm oil production?
it reduces the need for other vegetable oils
it decreases the nutritional value of food products
it contributes to deforestation and biodiversity loss
it improves soil fertility in tropical regions
it eliminates the need for fossil fuels in agriculture

Explanation:

• For the first question, a reintroduction program aims to restore a species to its natural habitat. Breeding in captivity and releasing back to the wild is a key part of such programs. Training for human interaction (zoos focus on display and education, not re - introduction), using for educational programs (not re - introduction), just tagging (tagging can be part of monitoring but not the core of re - introduction), and relocating to urban areas (opposite of re - introduction to wild) are incorrect.
• For the second question, unsustainable palm oil production often involves clearing large areas of forests (deforestation). Forests are habitats for many species, so deforestation leads to biodiversity loss. Reducing need for other oils (not an environmental concern), decreasing nutritional value (not an environmental issue related to production), improving soil fertility (not a major concern as deforestation is more prominent), and eliminating fossil fuel need (not a major environmental concern compared to deforestation) are incorrect.

Answer:

1. Breed them in captivity and release them back into the wild
2. It contributes to deforestation and biodiversity loss
