Answer:
At present, the populations of richer and more developed countries do not destroy more forests than those of less developed countries, because thanks to their economic development they do not need new areas to exploit and, therefore, they conserve their natural areas without major modifications.
The poorer countries, on the other hand, use their natural resources as an economic asset, thereby greatly modifying their natural environment to meet their economic needs.
Answer:
The statement that is NOT true about Guinea worm disease is It is a noncommunicable disease
Explanation:
The Guinea worm disease is a disease that infects people who drink water contaminated with copepods carrying worm larvae. It can be prevented by filtering drinking water and stopping infected people from entering shared water sources. People with blisters and visible worm wounds/ infections could potentially release the female worm or a liquid which in contact with water release more larvae.

Answer:
prohibits the introduction of invasive species
controls the kind of waste and pollutants allowed
assesses human influence on the environment
designates protected zones on the continent
Explanation:
These four key terms are some of what the Madrid Protocol includes.
Prohibiting the introduction of invasive species keeps the ecosystem from being dominated and/or destroyed by a single species that the ecosystem is not built to handle.
Controlling the kind of waste and pollutants allowed on the continent ensures that the environment remains stable without the influence of outside chemicals, such as oil or carbon emissions that could harm the ecosystems.
Assessing human influence on the environment keeps track who does what and how they do it, essentially preventing extreme human action from being taken so as to preserve Antarctica's natural order.
Designating protected zones on the continent that can only be accessed with special permits ensures that only people who require access for research or whatnot, or more simply, qualified personnel, are able to enter these zones, so as to keep contact down to a minimum and further preserve Antarctica's natural environment.
