Question

look at the figure below. what impact has conservation had on the overall number of tropical bird species in tropical forests? impact of conservation action impact of human activities predicted number of species in absence of conservation action expected number of species in absence of human activities observed number of species figure 3. estimated impact of conservation action to prevent extinctions of tropical forest birds compared with the impact of human activities on overall species richness of tropical forest birds (rodrigues et al. 2006).

Explanation:

By comparing the predicted number of species in the absence of conservation action with the observed number of species, we can see that conservation has mitigated the decline in the number of tropical - bird species in tropical forests. The gap between the two lines represents the positive impact of conservation efforts in preventing extinctions.

Answer:

Conservation has reduced the decline in the overall number of tropical bird species in tropical forests.
