What is the hunter's role in wildlife conservation?

  1. To eliminate predators

  2. To alter natural habitat

  3. To help manage wildlife populations

  4. To introduce new species

The correct answer is: To help manage wildlife populations

Hunters play a crucial role in wildlife conservation by helping to manage wildlife populations. This means that they help to control the number of animals in a certain area to ensure that the population is not too high or too low. This helps to maintain a balance in the ecosystem and prevent overpopulation or extinction of certain species. Eliminating predators (option A) is not the role of hunters, as predators also play an important role in the ecosystem. Altering natural habitat (option B) is also not the role of hunters, as this can disrupt the natural balance of the ecosystem. Introducing new species (option D) is also not the role of hunters, as this can have negative impacts on native species and their habitats. It is important to manage wildlife populations in a responsible and sustainable manner, which is the role of hunters in conservation efforts.
