Which action could positively impact biodiversity in Forestland through humanitarian action?

• A. Expanding crop selection
• B. Introducing foreign species
• C. Poorly locating temporary shelters
• D. Deforestation

Answer: (A)

Diversifying crops supports biodiversity by creating a variety of habitats and reducing the pressure to clear more forest land for agriculture. When humanitarian actions promote a mix of crops, including native varieties, intercropping, and agroforestry, ecosystems become more resilient: soil health improves, pollinators and natural pest controllers have more resources, and different plant structures provide niches for a wider range of species. This approach helps keep the forest landscape more complex and hospitable for wildlife while meeting local food needs, rather than eroding forests to grow a single crop. Introducing foreign species can disrupt native ecosystems, outcompeting local plants and animals. Poorly locating temporary shelters can fragment habitats and disturb wildlife. Deforestation removes critical habitat and directly reduces biodiversity.
