Which of the following statements best support the claim that human actions decreased the whooping crane population?(1 point)
Responses
A. Other bird species such as the California Condor have been placed on the endangered species list.
B. The draining of wetlands to build housing, farm, and look for oil and gas has led to the loss of habitats.
C. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act, signed by Congress, has made hunting whopping cranes illegal.
D .The sharp decline of Burmese pythons, a predator to the whooping crane, have occurred in areas with high whooping crane populations.
Thank you!
1. The draining of wetlands to build housing, farm, and look for oil and gas has led to the loss of habitats.
2. Captive-bred whooping cranes have been introduced to natural environments.
3. The predator population will increase because they will have more food.
100% just took the test
molly is 100% thx so much
The statement that best supports the claim that human actions decreased the whooping crane population is B. The draining of wetlands to build housing, farm, and look for oil and gas has led to the loss of habitats. This is because wetlands are the natural habitat of whooping cranes, and the loss of wetlands due to human activities has led to a decrease in the availability of suitable habitats for the cranes to live and breed.
molly is correct
The statement that best supports the claim that human actions decreased the whooping crane population is option B: The draining of wetlands to build housing, farm, and look for oil and gas has led to the loss of habitats.
To determine the best answer, we need to understand how human actions could have impacted the whooping crane population. Whooping cranes are dependent on wetland habitats for nesting, feeding, and migration. If wetlands are drained for various human activities like construction, agriculture, and resource exploration, it directly results in the loss of essential crane habitats. This loss of habitat can disrupt their breeding patterns, food availability, and migratory routes, leading to a decline in their population.
Understanding the impact of human activities on the whooping crane population helps us choose the most appropriate response.
