Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

Which of the following is considered a good wildlife conservation practice?

1. Feeding wildlife year-round

2. Introducing non-native species for hunting

3. Participating in habitat improvement programs

4. Hunting animals outside of their designated seasons

The correct answer is: Participating in habitat improvement programs

Participating in habitat improvement programs is considered a good wildlife conservation practice because it involves actively working towards creating a better environment for wildlife to thrive in. This includes activities such as planting native vegetation, restoring natural water sources, and managing invasive species. The other options are incorrect because - Feeding wildlife year-round can cause dependence on human-provided food and disrupt natural foraging behaviors. This can lead to overpopulation and negative impacts on both wildlife and ecosystems. - Introducing non-native species for hunting can lead to imbalances in the food chain and negatively impact native species. Non-native species can also spread diseases to native wildlife. - Hunting animals outside of their designated seasons can lead to overexploitation and declines in animal populations. It can also disrupt natural breeding patterns and threaten the survival of certain species.
