Question 1: What role do keystone species play in ecosystem management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They help maintain the structure and diversity of an ecosystem

They are non-native species that compete with native species

They create monocultures that benefit other species

They increase human economic value within the ecosystem

Question 2: In what way does the concept of "genetic bottleneck" hinder species recovery efforts?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces genetic diversity, leading to inbreeding and decreased adaptability

It promotes species adaptation to new environmental conditions

It increases population size and resilience

It strengthens the species' resistance to diseases

Question 3: Why is sustainable land use important in ecosystem management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It ensures that land is used in ways that do not degrade ecosystem functions, supporting long-term biodiversity

It focuses only on maximizing land productivity without considering ecological health

It excludes species conservation in favor of agricultural productivity

It reduces ecosystem connectivity by prioritizing urban development

Question 4: What is the role of biomass management in habitat restoration?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It has no effect on habitat restoration as it only concerns soil quality

It increases species competition by limiting resource availability

It helps control fuel loads and improve habitat quality by reducing invasive species and promoting native growth

It solely focuses on timber production, disregarding ecological health

Question 5: What approach should be used to foster long-term environmental stewardship in communities through education programs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Encourage active participation and provide leadership opportunities

Limit community engagement to awareness campaigns only

Rely solely on top-down legislation and policy enforcement

Focus on short-term educational goals rather than sustainable actions

Question 6: How does invasive species management contribute to species conservation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It increases the spread of invasive species to improve biodiversity

It reduces the competition and predation pressures on native species, aiding their recovery

It focuses only on plant species without considering animal threats

It eliminates the need for species-specific recovery plans
