(a) A place where animals are protected in their natural habitat is called _________.
(b) Species found only in a particular area are known as _______.
(c) Migratory birds fly to faraway places because of __________ changes.
Explanation of correct answers:
a) Wildlife sanctuary:
- An area where animal habitats and their surroundings are provided protection from any kind of interference is referred to as a wildlife sanctuary. Animal trapping, killing, and poaching are outright forbidden in some areas. They want to provide the animals with a nice life.
- In India, there are now 565 wildlife sanctuaries that occupy 122560.85 km2, or 3.73 percent, of the nation's total land area. In the Protected Area Network Report, 218 additional sanctuaries totaling 16,829 km2 are suggested.
b) Endemic species:
- In biology, the term "endemism" refers to the geographic distribution of a taxon that is only present naturally in a narrow geographic region. As a result, endemic species are those that only exist in a particular region, such as a mountain range, lake, island, etc.
- Paleoendemism and neoendemism are the two forms of endemism. Paleoendemism describes a species that once inhabited a broad region but now only inhabits a smaller one.
c) Climate:
The loss of habitats is one of the main consequences of climate change. Due to rising temperatures, floods, or desertification, the habitats that migrating birds rely on might alter or perhaps vanish. For example, migratory birds require coastal wetland habitats for breeding and feeding.
Final answer: (a) A place where animals are protected in their natural habitat is called a wildlife sanctuary.
(b) Species found only in a particular area are referred to as endemic species.
(c) Migratory birds fly to faraway places due to climate changes.
