Ranger Quiz - Environmental Conservation
Girl Guides learn how we help protect and nurture our planet.

Ranger Quiz - Environmental Conservation

Rangers learn about crucial environmental issues, conservation practices, and the importance of understanding and nurturing our planet. They are also encouraged to share their personal beliefs and opinions on the subject. Globally, the Girl Guides take part in many conservation efforts to help protect the planet, from litter picking to planting trees. They become familiar with key concepts in environmental science, wildlife protection laws, and effective strategies for preserving biodiversity.

They also learn how we can minimise our impact on the environment through sustainable energy sources, reducing plastic waste, and adopting sustainable practices.

Test your knowledge on environmental conservation.

1 .
What is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities?
Methane
Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide
Nitrogen
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most significant greenhouse gas produced by human activities, particularly from burning fossil fuels.
2 .
Which of the following ecosystems is considered one of the most biodiverse on Earth?

3 .
What is the practice of planting trees to restore or create forested areas known as?
Afforestation
Agroforestry
Deforestation
Reforestation
Reforestation involves replanting trees in areas where forest have been cut down or degraded, helping to restore ecosystems and carbon sinks.
4 .

The Kyoto Protocol
The Paris Agreement
The Montreal Protocol
The Rio Declaration
The Paris Agreement is a landmark international treaty that aims to limit global warming and enhance the ability to adapt to climate change.
5 .
What term describes the introduction of non-native species to an ecosystem, which can disrupt local biodiversity?
Invasive species
Endemism
Biodiversity
Extinction
Invasive species can outcompete native species for resources, leading to ecological imbalances and loss of biodiversity.
6 .
What is the primary purpose of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)?
To regulate global fishing
To promote sustainable development
To create national parks

8 .
What does the term "carbon footprint" refer to?
The amount of carbon in the atmosphere
The carbon emissions from vehicle only

A carbon footprint measure the impact of human activities on the environment, specifically the amount of greenhouse gases produced.
9 .
Which of the following practises is most effective in reducing water pollution?
Riparian buffer zones
Increased urban development
Monoculture agriculture
Chemical runoff
Riparian buffer zones are areas of vegetation near water bodies that help filter pollutants and reduce runoff, improving water quality.
10 .
What is the main goal of conservation biology?
To create national parks
To maximise species populations
To manage wild species for human benefit
To understand and preserve biodiversity and ecosystems
Conservation biology is a specific discipline focused on studying ecosystems, species, and the impacts of human activity to develop effective conservation strategies.
