Q.1
What is a disadvantage of wildlife corridors?
  • Wildlife corridors allow animals to move from habitat to habitat
  • Wildlife corridors allow animals to pass through or close to areas of human settlements
  • Wildlife corridors give a fixed, safer route for animals to travel
  • Wildlife corridors allow diverse groups to mix
Q.2
In terms of genetic diversity, how do wildlife corridors help prevent species extinction?
  • Wildlife corridors reduce inbreeding and genetic drift
  • Wildlife corridors allow animals to escape hunting
  • Wildlife corridors allow animals to use one area for hunting and one for breeding
  • Wildlife corridors increase genetic drift and inbreeding
Q.3
How can housing developers and planners help wildlife?
  • By blocking off developments to prevent animals entering the area and forcing them to pass around
  • By making sure that routes funnel animals through the developments without pausing
  • By making sure that there is clear signage on roads warning drivers about animal crossings
  • By providing gardens and green spaces for wildlife and humans, and leaving wildlife corridors for animals to pass through
Q.4
What is a riparian ribbon?
  • A type of marking that shows road users where crossings intersect with roads
  • A ribbon of wild land encircling a new development
  • A water based corridor such as a river or stream
  • A wildlife corridor that snakes between settlements to allow passage without intersecting with developments
Q.5
How do dams prevent rivers being used as wildlife corridors?
  • Dams normally have industrial developments either side. These will discourage animals
  • The deeper water can drown some of the sensitive species
  • Species that move up or down river can't jump over the dam, and often the land originally either side is flooded
  • The increased flow is too much for many species to swim against
Q.6
What is habitat fragmentation?
  • Habitat is broken up by logging, roads, and other developments
  • Fragments of habitat are brought back together
  • Species that migrate are assigned different habitats for different times of the year
  • Certain fragments of the habitat, such as particular plant species, are removed
Q.7
How can forestry companies prevent fragmenting habitats?
  • By leaving corridors for animals to pass between areas of forest that are contnuing to grow
  • By cutting in linear strips across the entire forest to allow animals to pass through
  • By putting bridges in place to allow animals to cross the cut sections
  • By only cutting every second tree to thin the forest, rather than stripping the forest to bare ground
Q.8
How can road design work to incorporate wildlife corridors?
  • By including concrete sidewalks to allow animals to walk along the side of the road
  • By including roadside vegetation to allow a distinct wildlife corridor separate from the road itself
  • By putting bridges between every possible piece of habitat
  • By including signage and markings to warn drivers of crossing points
Q.9
Which of the following is a way farmers can help wildlife cross their land?
  • By planting clumps of shrubs and trees in steps across larger fields
  • By improving hedgerows and leaving field boundaries to grow wild
  • By planting native grass in pastures where possible
  • By erecting soild fencing and narrow boundaries between fields
Q.10
Migratory species can travel for thousands of miles. Besides willife corridors, what do they require?
  • Refuges for stopping to rest and feed
  • Food stations
  • Methods of protecting them from external systems
  • Manual help in crossing cities and other barriers
