Answer 1

The activity that might reduce habitat loss is "removing invasive species." Invasive species often outcompete native species for resources, disrupt ecosystems, and can lead to habitat degradation. By removing them, you can help protect and restore native habitats. Other options, such as draining wetlands or replacing natural habitats with agricultural or recreational areas, would likely increase habitat loss. Spreading out the human population might have mixed effects, depending on implementation and context.
