Question

Why are forests considered "biodiversity hot spots"? List two ways in which an individual can contribute effectively to the management of forests and wildlife.

Answer 1

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).
