A species that is likely to become extinct if protective measures are not taken immediately.
What is an endangered species?
100
Species ate are native to and found only within a limited area.
What is an endemic species.
100
A conservation strategy that involves breeding species in captivity with hopes of releasing them back into the wild.
What is a captive-breeding program?
100

One cause of lack of genetic diversity in small populations.

What is inbreeding depression?

200

A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding

What is a species?

200
A species that has a declining population and that is likely to become endangered if it is not protected.
What is a threatened species?
200
It is projected that over half of the world's species live within this biome.
What is the tropical rainforest?
200
These facilities often house the few remaining members of a species and may be the species' last hope for survival.
What are zoos?
200
A place where endemic species are isolated and often evolve into several new species.
What are islands?

This kind of diversity refers to the variety of habitats, communities, and ecological processes within and between ecosystems.
What is ecosystem diversity?
300
Illegal hunting, fishing, harvesting, and trading of wildlife.
What is poaching?

Drainage of this type of chemical is a direct cause of harmful algal blooms.

What is nitrogen, or fertilizer runoff. 

300

This involves training people to protect local species, as well as educating them about sustainable resource management. 

What is community-based conservation. 

300

When a population shrinks, its genetic diversity decreases as though it is passing through this.

The major cause of current extinctions.
What is habitat loss?
500

This theory proposes that an ecosystem with high biodiversity is better able to survive disturbances than an ecosystem with low biodiversity.

500

One reason why it is hard to measure biodiversity. 

What is small organisms, training, species looking the same, inaccessibility.
