Summary Introduction
To describe: The process followed by the declining-population approach in order to conserve the endangered species.
Introduction: The declining-population approach is a method that involves the identification of the declining population, determination of the environmental factors that result in the population decline, and then it recommends the corrective measures. There are certain factors that cause the population to decline, and they include habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.

- Which one of these statements about COSEWIC is false? COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors. The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body. The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then. Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.arrow_forwardThe Canary Islands are a volcanic island chain off the western coast of Africa with a larger percentage of specialist species than generalist species. If an invasive species is introduced to one of the Canary Islands, which of the following represents an immediate impact? (NOTE: a specialist species has a narrow ecological tolerance, while a generalist has a wide ecological tolerance) The populations of the invasive species on the Canary Islands will decrease as predation increases. The population of the invasive species on the Canary Islands will decrease because they were outcompeted by native specialist species. The populations of both the invasive species and the specialist species on the Canary Islands will remain the same as a result of resource partitioning. The populations of the specialist species on the Canary Islands will decrease as competition for resources increases.arrow_forwardWhat do restocking programs for wild animals involve? Pick one of the following answers: Releasing individuals into an existing population to increase the size of the population and the diversity of its gene pool Releasing wild-collected individuals into a new site Releasing captive-bred individuals into a new site Releasing captive-bred or wild-collected individuals into an ecologically suitable site within their historical ranges where the species no longer occursarrow_forward
