Question

Use the following paper for this question: Margules, CR, Pressey, RL. 2000. Nature 405: 243-253. The authors state that the purpose of reserves is to protect biodiversity from external elements that threaten existence of species and communities in the wild. They further suggest that reserves need to need to fulfil two aims in order to achieve this:

	Incorporate genetic diversity and enhance survival of species over the long-term
	Incorporate the full range of biodiversity at different levels of biological organisation
	Keep predators out and enhance survival of species over the long-term
	Incorporate the full range of biodiversity and enhance survival of species over the long-term

Question 3

The UNESCO Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta and the Northwest Territories is an example of:

	None of these answers
	Landscape conservation
	Site conservation
	Species conservation

Answer 1

Q1) The two aims are-

Incorporate the full range of biodiversity at different levels of biological organisation.

Keep keep predators out and enhance survival of species over the long-term.

First objective is to represent the full range of biodiversity at all levels of the biological organisation.

Second is the persistence, which is the prevention of threats like predators to ensure the long-term survival of the species.

Q2) Species conservation

The park mainly conserves endangered species like the wood bison, whooping cranes and a wide range of wildlife species.

hope the answer helps.
