Protecting Endangered Animals

Question 1

A wildlife group wants to help the endangered red panda in the mountains. Which of the following three actions together represent three different conservation strategies, each paired with a real‑world example?

Accepted Answer

Create a protected forest reserve (e.g., the Red Panda Habitat Reserve in Nepal), start a captive‑breeding program at a zoo (e.g., the Chengdu Research Base in China), and run anti‑poaching patrols with local rangers (e.g., Bhutan’s patrols in Jigme Singye‑Wangchuck National Park).

Answer

Establish a national park (e.g., the Great Himalayan National Park), set up a wildlife corridor (e.g., linking two forest patches in India), and establish another wildlife corridor (e.g., connecting habitats in Nepal).

Answer

Create a marine reserve (e.g., for coral reefs), launch a captive‑breeding program for sea turtles (e.g., on Florida’s coast), and enforce a law banning pet trade (e.g., the U.S. Endangered Species Act).

Answer

Plant extra trees in the red panda’s forest, give families coupons for buying recycled paper, and produce a wildlife documentary about the species.

Question 2

Which of the following lists three correct ways people protect endangered animals, and gives a specific example for each?

Accepted Answer

Creating national parks (e.g., Yellowstone protects wolves), running captive‑breeding programmes (e.g., the California condor program), and patrolling against poaching (e.g., anti‑poaching teams in Kenya protect elephants).

Answer

Building more zoos (e.g., the San Diego Zoo), hunting endangered animals for sport, and planting trees in cities.

Answer

Making wildlife corridors (e.g., connecting forests in Brazil), banning plastic bags, and recycling paper.

Answer

Creating marine reserves (e.g., Great Barrier Reef), feeding wild animals in parks, and using pesticides to kill pests.

Question 3

A town wants to help the endangered river dolphin that lives in their nearby river. Which of the following plans would protect the dolphins by both improving the river’s habitat and helping the dolphins directly?

Accepted Answer

Ban fishing nets that can trap dolphins and plant riverbank vegetation to keep the water clean.

Answer

Start a dolphin‑watching tourism business that brings money to the town.

Answer

Build a dolphin breeding program in a far‑away zoo but do nothing to the river.

Answer

Create a new city park in the downtown area that is far from the river.
