Question

In an effort to save an endangered population, wildlife managers might try to enhance __ to help reduce __.
A. Population fragmentation . . . biodiversity hotspots
B. Biological magnification . . . population fragmentation
C. Movement corridors . . . population fragmentation
D. Biological magnification . . . source habitats

Answer 1

Hint: A species that is threatened with extinction is referred to as endangered. The two main factors that cause a species to become endangered are habitat loss and genetic diversity loss.


Complete step by step solution:
The "Red List of Threatened Species" is maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The seriousness and precise root causes of an endangered species' endangerment are outlined in the Red List. Lesser concern, near threatened, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered, extinct in the wild, and extinct are the seven conservation levels included on the Red List. Each category represents a different degree of threat.

Therefore to protect endangered species following step must be followed

Movement between isolated populations is made possible by habitat corridors, which supports a rise in genetic diversity. They aid in seasonal migrations, juvenile dispersal, and food and shelter for a variety of species. That is by movement corridors

Natural occurrences may result in habitat loss. For instance, some 65 million years ago, dinosaurs had their habitat eliminated.During the Cretaceous epoch, the earth's hot, dry climate rapidly altered, most likely as a result of an asteroid strike. The asteroid collision caused debris to be thrust into the atmosphere, which reduced the amount of heat and light that reached the Earth's surface.The new, cooler habitat proved to be inhospitable to the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs went from being threatened to extinct. Therefore habitat fragmentation should be avoided

So, option C is the correct answer, Movement corridors . . . population fragmentation.

Note:
 The particular habitats where endangered species live are best protected, according to scientists. There must be locations for wildlife to live, feed, and rear their young. The deterioration of habitat is a result of logging, oil and gas drilling, overgrazing, and development.
