Question

Which of the following are not Madrid Protocol guidelines for protecting Antarctica?

Answer 1

The right answer is limit the amount of endemic species allowed. The Madrid Protocol was a response to the attempt of protecting the environment in Antarctica. Via 6 annexes of rules it prohibits all resources exploration activities only allowing scientific research and touristic activity, under well defined categories, in the area.  

limit the amount of endemic species allowed  - False - This assumption makes no sense, because the endemic species does not follow a maximum number of species. All the efforts of the protocol is to maintain the ecosystem and its fauna and flora, as untouchable as possible.

protect historical sites and distinct ecosystems  - True - Under the Annex V the protocol designated areas of protection because of its outstanding environmental.

limit the amount of chemicals that can be dumped  - True - Under the Annex IV the protocol prohibits the discharge of chemicals and garbage in the  Antarctic treaty area.

limit how food waste can be moved from ships - True - Also under the Annex IV we have the rules of discharge of waste, sewage and ship retention capacity.

Answer 2

It would be "limit the amount of endemic species allowed," that is not Madrid Protocol guidelines for protecting Antarctica, since the goal is to protect the environment, not limit it.
