Biodiversity and Human Impact on the Savannah

What is biodiversity?

• Variety of life on Earth

• The process of creating new species

• The study of rocks and minerals

• A type of weather phenomenon

Name three factors that contribute to the loss of biodiversity in the savannah.

• Human activities, climate change, and habitat destruction

• Alien invasion, volcanic eruption, and solar flares

• Zombie apocalypse, alien abduction, and time travel paradox

• Unicorn migration, fairy interference, and dragon attacks

How does human activity such as agriculture and urbanization impact the biodiversity of the savannah?

• It increases the biodiversity of the savannah

• It leads to the preservation of the savannah's biodiversity

• It can lead to habitat destruction, fragmentation, and pollution, negatively impacting the biodiversity of the savannah.

• It has no impact on the biodiversity of the savannah

What are some endangered species that are found in the savannah ecosystem?

• African elephants, cheetahs, and black rhinoceros

• Meerkats, warthogs, and baboons

• Giraffes, zebras, and lions

• Hyenas, wildebeests, and leopards

Explain the concept of habitat destruction and its impact on the savannah ecosystem.

• Habitat destruction in the savannah ecosystem leads to an increase in biodiversity

• Habitat destruction has no impact on the savannah ecosystem

• Habitat destruction in the savannah ecosystem can lead to loss of biodiversity, disruption of food chains, and loss of ecosystem services.

• Habitat destruction in the savannah ecosystem has a positive impact on food chains

What are some conservation efforts that can be implemented to protect the biodiversity of the savannah?

• Increased deforestation

• Introduction of non-native species

• Unregulated hunting

• Habitat restoration, controlled grazing, and protection of endangered species

Discuss the importance of maintaining biodiversity in the savannah for the overall health of the ecosystem.

• The savannah ecosystem can thrive even with a significant loss of biodiversity.

• Biodiversity in the savannah has no impact on the overall health of the ecosystem.

• Biodiversity in the savannah supports ecological balance, nutrient cycling, and resilience to environmental changes.

• Maintaining biodiversity in the savannah only benefits a few species and does not affect the ecosystem as a whole.

How does climate change affect the biodiversity of the savannah?

• Climate change can lead to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, which can directly impact the vegetation and water availability in the savannah.

• Climate change leads to an increase in water availability in the savannah

• Climate change has no impact on the biodiversity of the savannah

• Climate change only affects the animals in the savannah, not the vegetation

Explain the concept of overgrazing and its impact on the savannah ecosystem.

• Overgrazing helps in preventing soil erosion in the savannah ecosystem

• Overgrazing can lead to soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, and desertification in the savannah ecosystem.

• Overgrazing has no impact on the savannah ecosystem

• Overgrazing leads to increased biodiversity in the savannah ecosystem

What are some sustainable practices that can help minimize human impact on the savannah ecosystem?

• Implementing controlled burning, promoting sustainable agriculture and grazing practices, conserving water resources, and reducing deforestation and habitat destruction.

• Encouraging uncontrolled burning

• Promoting unsustainable agriculture and grazing practices

• Conserving water resources by increasing usage
