Question

livestock. iberian farmers have allowed environmentalists to build artificial rabbit burrows on their land to help feed the lynxes. 8. how does being “cute” help a species recover from extinction? 9. why might farmers be in favor of having lynx on their land? 10. would chicken farmers need to worry about lynx in their area? why or why not?

Explanation:

1. Being "cute" can attract public attention and sympathy, leading to more funding for conservation efforts and greater public - support for protection measures, which can aid in the species' recovery.
2. Lynx can control rodent populations that might damage crops or stored food, thus protecting farmers' livelihoods.
3. Chicken farmers might need to worry as lynx are predators and could potentially prey on chickens if their natural food sources are scarce. However, if there are sufficient natural prey like rabbits in the area and the lynx are well - fed, the risk might be lower.

Answer:

1. It can attract public attention and funding for conservation.
2. Lynx can control rodent populations.
3. Maybe. Lynx are predators but risk depends on food availability.
