Why are forests considered "biodiversity hot spots"? List two ways in which an individual can contribute effectively to the management of forests and wildlife.
Forests are considered "biodiversity hot spots" because they contain a high level of species diversity threatened with extinction.
The following are the two ways in which a person can effectively contribute towards the management of forests and wildlife:
1. He/she can avoid throwing non-biodegradable wastes, such as plastic bottles, in forest-protected areas.
2. He/she can reduce the use of products directly derived from forests (such as wood) and animals (such as animal skin).
