Maintaining biodiversity

Question 1

What are the main ways that we can help maintain

biodiversity?

Answer 1

• breeding programs to help preserve endangered species, like the panda
• protection and development of new endangered habitats, often by making National Parks
• replanting hedgerows because there is higher biodiversity in them than the fields they surround
• reducing deforestation and the release of greenhouse gases
• recycling rather than dumping waste in landfill sites
