Question
Tropical rainforests are diverse ecosystems. They are currently facing a serious threat from human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and urbanization. Deforestation has caused increased soil erosion, reduced rainfall, and the loss of fertile land. These things have decreased the biodiversity of the ecosystems.
Which would best help minimize the threat of deforestation to the biodiversity of tropical rainforests?
A.
converting large blocks of forests into many smaller habitats
B.
practicing slash and burn farming
C.
converting disturbed land into restored forests
D.
clearing forests to make room for pastures for cattle grazing

C. converting disturbed land into restored forests
This option would best help minimize the threat of deforestation to the biodiversity of tropical rainforests by promoting the recovery of ecosystems that have already been disturbed, thereby supporting wildlife and plant diversity while preventing further loss of forested areas.
