Question

In this module, we learned the importance of keeping the biodiversity within an ecosystem intact whenever possible. This also means we should take efforts to restore missing diversity whenever possible. As a result, many species reintroductions are being carried out across the United States and in other nations as well. Use the internet to research a particular species reintroduction effort and answer the following questions.

1. What caused the species to be lost from its native habitat?
   
2. Is there any controversy surrounding its reintroduction?
   
3. Are there any factors that could impede the success of the reintroduction?
   
4. What are the biggest threats to biodiversity in general?

Answer 1

ANSWER 1 The main cause of habitat destruction is clearing habitat for agriculture.Habitat destruction is the process through which natural habitat become incapable of supporting its native species.Human activity like using land for industrial production so the species /organism who previously used the site is displaced or destroyed thus reducing biodiversity.another reason for habitat destruction is climate change,pollution including water and noise pollution.

apart from this mining logging and trawling are also involved in habitat destruction.

ANSWER 2

Yes,yellow stone's wolves are back ,helping in the ecosystem through food chain .when this top of the food chain predator was killed off nearly a century ago.another example of reintroduction is rewilding of red kites to England and Scotland.This bird of prey became locally extinct before 1900,efforts to reintrodution of species is in the parts of ENGLAND AND Scotland began in 1989.

ANSWER 3

Factor that affecting reintroduction are

Habitat quality

seasonality

Genetic consideration

permission and approval

From where to get species

Determining what organ to reintroduce

ANSWER 4

Threats involve in biodiversity are population growth ,climate change ,human activity,habitat conversion,urbanization,pollution and over exploitation.
