Question

The Department of Natural Resources has selected certain species that are on the verge of extinction due to a lack of prey. These species are used for game sport. In an effort to protect the species, the department has started arranging for food for these species. Which method is the department adopting?

Answer 1

Answer:

Habitat manipulation

Explanation:

Habitat manipulation, otherwise known as ecological engineering, is a technique of promoting natural enemies within an ecosystem by making thriving conditions more suitable for them.

In this case, thriving conditions for the species (which happens to be predators and hence, natural enemies) were promoted via artificial introduction of food.
