Maintaining Biodiversity
This lesson covers:
- How we can maintain biodiversity with breeding programs and conservation
- Why we don't conserve biodiversity as much as we should
One way we can improve biodiversity is through breeding programs.
Which sort of species do these seek to help?
Those that face extinction
Those that are pests in the wild
Those used in agriculture

An alternative to breeding programs could be to make the habitat a area. This would make the habitat safe so that the species could recover naturally.
|
How do field margins and hedgerows in agriculture help increase biodiversity?
|
How can the government encourage businesses (including farmers) to reduce damage to biodiversity.
|
Which three of the following human activities have a positive impact on biodiversity?
