Which one of these statements about COSEWIC is false? COSEWIC's assessments take into account political, social and economic factors. The Species at Risk Act (2002) established COSEWIC as an advisory body. The committee made its first designation in April 1978 and has met annually since then. Members of COSEWIC are wildlife biology experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations and the private sector responsible for designating wildlife species in danger of disappearing from Canada.

What are important characteristics of adequate monitoring plans for translocation programs? Select all the correct options. Select 3 correct answer(s) Leaving released individuals aside and focusing on monitoring the population as a whole. Avoid advertising the success of program to local communities so that released individuals are not bothered by curious people. A long-term plan that involves monitoring the population over many years. Monitoring the costs of the program so that cost-effective analysis can be made. Monitoring other ecosystem elements beyond the released species, such as prey and vegetation.
What do restocking programs for wild animals involve? Pick the correct following statement number: 1. Releasing individuals into an existing population to increase the size of the population and the diversity of its gene pool 2. Releasing wild-collected individuals into a new site 3.

Releasing captive-bred or wild-collected individuals into an ecologically suitable site within their historical ranges where the species no longer occurs
Match the approach to protection with the example from the academic literature. Species approach Hotspot approach Ecosystem approach 1. Wolf reintroductions into the Yellowstone environment restored riparian species and increased biodiversity because wolves controlled the numbers of elk and coyotes which allowed plants, beaver, and foxes to rebound (Ripple and Beschta 2003). 2. The creation of a reserve protects the red-brown treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus). This approach looks to accommodate processes that threaten species viability, such as fragmentation and feral predators (Nicholson et al. 2013). 3. Species richness of tiger beetles, Cicindelidae, is positively correlated with bird and butterfly diversity across North America, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent (Reid, 1998).

Which of the following is not a part of the red list criteria for "critically endangered" species? The population is expected to decline by 25% or more within 3 years or 1 generation. The species has a restricted range <100km2 at a single location and there is observed or predictive habitat loss, fragmentation, ecological imbalance or heavy commercial pollution. Extinction probably is greater than 50% within 10 years or 3 generations. The total population size is less than 200 mature individuals.
Which of the subsequent options is not included in the red list criteria for species classified as "critically endangered"? 1. The population is projected to decrease by 25% or more within a span of 3 years or 1 generation. 2. The species possesses a limited range of less than 100km2 in a solitary location, and there is evidence of or anticipated habitat loss, fragmentation, ecological imbalance, or significant commercial pollution. 3. The likelihood of extinction exceeds 50% within a timeframe of 10 years or 3 generations. 4. The overall population size consists of fewer than 200 mature individuals.
