Eco-centric Conservation Quiz

What is eco-centric conservation?

• Conservation that prioritizes the well-being of individual species

• Conservation that focuses on human well-being only

• Conservation that ignores the impact on the environment

• Conservation that prioritizes the well-being of the entire ecosystem

Explain the concept of deep ecology in eco-centric conservation.

• Deep ecology emphasizes the intrinsic value of all living beings and their interdependence.

• Deep ecology focuses on the superiority of human beings over other living beings.

• Deep ecology encourages the destruction of ecosystems for economic growth.

• Deep ecology promotes the exploitation of natural resources for human benefit.

Discuss the role of indigenous communities in eco-centric conservation.

• They have no impact on eco-centric conservation

• They are only interested in exploiting natural resources

• They play a crucial role by possessing traditional knowledge of the environment, sustainable practices, and a deep connection to the land.

• Their traditional knowledge is not valuable for conservation

How does eco-centric conservation differ from anthropocentric conservation?

• Eco-centric conservation does not consider the impact of human activities on the environment, while anthropocentric conservation focuses on minimizing human impact.

• Eco-centric conservation focuses on the well-being of the entire ecosystem, while anthropocentric conservation prioritizes the well-being of humans.

• Eco-centric conservation prioritizes the well-being of humans, while anthropocentric conservation prioritizes the well-being of the entire ecosystem.

• Eco-centric conservation focuses on conserving only one species, while anthropocentric conservation focuses on conserving multiple species.

What are some key principles of eco-centric conservation?

• Focusing solely on economic growth

• Respect for all forms of life, interconnectedness of ecosystems, and sustainability.

• Ignoring the impact of human activities on the environment

• Hunting and fishing without limits

Explain the concept of biocentrism in the context of eco-centric conservation.

• Biocentrism prioritizes the value of inanimate objects over living organisms in eco-centric conservation.

• Biocentrism focuses only on the conservation of non-living elements in the ecosystem.

• Biocentrism has no relevance in the context of eco-centric conservation.

• Biocentrism emphasizes the value of all living organisms in eco-centric conservation.

Discuss the importance of biodiversity in eco-centric conservation.

• Biodiversity ensures the balance of ecosystems, provides resilience to environmental changes, and supports the overall health of the planet.

• The health of the planet is not influenced by biodiversity

• Biodiversity has no impact on ecosystems

• Environmental changes are not affected by biodiversity

What are some challenges faced in implementing eco-centric conservation practices?

• Ignoring ecological needs for human activities

• Prioritizing economic benefits over ecological conservation

• Lack of public awareness and support for eco-centric practices

• Balancing ecological needs with human activities

How can eco-centric conservation contribute to sustainable development?

• By increasing pollution and deforestation

• By ignoring the impact of human activities on the environment

• By exploiting natural resources for economic gain

• By preserving ecosystems and biodiversity, ensuring the availability of natural resources, and maintaining ecological balance.

Explain the concept of ecocentrism and its significance in conservation efforts.

• Ecocentrism emphasizes the interconnectedness of all components of the environment and promotes the protection of entire ecosystems.

• Ecocentrism promotes the exploitation of natural resources

• Ecocentrism focuses only on protecting individual species

• Ecocentrism encourages the destruction of entire ecosystems
