Which of the following does not come under ethical argument for the conservation of biodiversity?
(1) We owe to millions of plants, animal and microbe species with whom we share this planet
(2) We need to realise that every species has an intrinsic value even if it is of no economic use to us
(3) We have a moral duty to care for their well being and pass on our biological legacy in good order to future generations
(4) They provide us aesthetic pleasures of walking through thick woods. So, to get the same uninterrupted we need to conserve
In situ conservation means except
(1) On site conservation
(2) Saving the entire forest to save the tiger
(3) When we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem, it's biodiversity at all levels is protected
(4) Endangered species is protected at priority
Ex situ means except
(1) Off site conservation
(2) Endangered plant or animal is protected
(3) They are kept in more protected space than natural area
(4) Saving the entire forest to save the tiger
Which of the following is not the problem regarding in situ approach that has been addressed by eminent conservationists?
(1) The conflict between development and conservation
(2) Unrealistic and economically not feasible to conserve all their biological wealth
(3) The number of species waiting to be saved from extinction far exceeds the conservation resources available
(4) Human Intrusion is the major cause of its failure
Biodiversity Hotspots
Which of the following is wrong about it?
(1) Were identified for maximum protection
(2) High levels of species richness
(3) High degree of endemism
(4) Initially 34 biodiversity hotspots were there
Endemism is
(1) Species is confined to particular region and not confined to somewhere else
(2) Species is found more in particular region and confined to somewhere else
(3) Species is found more in particular regions and cosmopolitan in occurance
(4) Both A and C
Biodiversity Hotspots:
Which of the following is not true?
(1) Total 34 in number
(2) Regions of accelerated habitat loss
(3) Covers less than 2 per cent of the Earth's land area
(4) Strict protection of hotspot can reduce the on going mass extinctions by almost 25 per cent
Which of the following is not a hotspot which covers an exceptionally high biodiversity regions?
(1) Western Ghats and Sri Lanka
(2) Himalaya
(3) Indo-Burma
(4) National Zoological Park, Delhi
