Answer:

The answer is 17190 years

Explanation:

Original amount was 5730. To become 1/8 of the original amount, three (3)  half life periods will demand because after first half life the amount will become 1/2 and after second half life, amount become 1/2 again (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4).  Third half life, the amount become half 1/2 again (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8).

For the 3 half life periods we have original amount x numbers of half life periods = 5730 years x 3   =  17190 years

Flagship species are often the focus of successful conservation efforts. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this appro
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

These species that are usually charismatic, attractive and attract people's attention.

Advantages of this type of conservation:

-These species make people aware of the importance of protecting and conserving these animals.

-It is an effective way to obtain financing for conservation projects.

- This conservation is positive because the conservation of Flagship species also means the protection of everything around them.

Disadvantages:

- If it is not carried out properly, it can become a tax eagerness forgetting the conservation goal.

-We run the risk of neglecting other organisms such as plants, since most of the flagship species are mammals.

In my opinion the advantages are more important than the advantages because the protection of these species will only be possible by taking care of all their ecological niche and that implies the conservation of several species and elements of the ecosystem such as water, air and forest.
