What is the hunter's role in wildlife conservation?

  1. To hunt as many animals as possible

  2. To follow game laws and contribute to management programs

  3. To introduce new species to the environment

  4. To stay out of designated wildlife areas

The correct answer is: To follow game laws and contribute to management programs

The other options are incorrect because Option A focuses mainly on the act of hunting for pleasure and disregards the impact on wildlife populations and ecosystems. Option C goes against the principles of environmental balance and conservation, as introducing new species can disrupt the natural balance and threaten native species. Option D suggests a complete avoidance of designated wildlife areas, which may prevent the hunter from contributing to management and conservation efforts. Option B is the correct answer as it recognizes the importance of following laws and participating in management programs to ensure the sustainability of wildlife populations and their habitats. This involves responsible hunting practices, monitoring and reporting game populations, and promoting conservation efforts within the hunting community. By doing so, hunters play a crucial role in preserving and protecting wildlife for future generations.
