Question 37

Multiple Choice

After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.
As the climate warms, organisms will shift their population ranges to different areas that are cooler. However, as humans continue to fragment large tracts of land, species will face increasing challenges in adapting their ranges to new climates. For example, movement corridors may not be able to be built if the amount of land needed for a species' range is fragmented due to cities and roads. One alternative to creating movement corridors is called managed relocation. This requires physically moving species to cooler climates.
-Which of the following is a disadvantage of using managed relocation?


A) Many vehicles will be needed to transport the species, so CO₂ emissions from the vehicles will cause an increase in global greenhouse gas levels.
B) Governments will face long-term high fuel costs for the many vehicles that will be needed to move the species.
C) Scientists may move the species to ranges where they will become invasive.
D) Local economies will see an increase in jobs as many individuals will need to be hired to help move the species.
