Question 4 (Multiple Choice)

To determine the major threat leading to early conservation efforts in Serengeti, we analyze each option:

• "Climate change" as a major early threat is less likely, as historical conservation in Serengeti was more driven by direct human impacts on wildlife.
• "Overhunting of large mammals like lions and wildebeest" is a key historical threat. Early on, overhunting (for trophies, trade, etc.) depleted populations, prompting conservation.
• "Overpopulation of lions" is incorrect; lion populations were threatened, not overpopulated.
• "Earthquakes" are not a primary threat for Serengeti conservation.

Answer:

B. Overhunting of large mammals like lions and wildebeest

Question 5 (Matching)

Since the definitions for the terms (Ecosystem, Conservation, Migration, Biodiversity) are not provided in the image, we can provide the standard definitions for matching:

• Ecosystem: A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
• Conservation: The protection, preservation, management, or restoration of natural environments and the organisms living in them.
• Migration: The seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, typically for feeding or breeding.
• Biodiversity: The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem (includes genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity).

To complete the matching, pair each term with its corresponding definition (e.g., Ecosystem → "A biological community...", Conservation → "The protection...", Migration → "The seasonal movement...", Biodiversity → "The variety of life...").
