Evaluate Biodiversity Preservation Strategies Practice Test

An endangered frog has fewer than 60 adults left in the wild. The main problems are (1) loss of breeding ponds due to drainage and (2) a fungal disease that spreads easily in disturbed habitats. A plan proposes: captive breeding to increase numbers, restoring several ponds, and then reintroducing frogs. Which evaluation is most scientifically sound?

A coral reef is declining due to repeated heat waves that cause coral bleaching (linked to rising ocean temperatures). Local managers propose two actions:

1. Ban destructive fishing practices and reduce sewage pollution entering the reef.

2. Move corals to deeper water and stop monitoring after relocation.

Which evaluation best describes how well these actions address the main threat to biodiversity on the reef?
