Answer 8

Any idea as to what the answer might be?

Answer 9

I don't think it's A or C

Answer 10

Okay so first things first, do you know what the question is asking?

Answer 11

Yes, whether or not the forest can be restored... I'm just not sure what the species have to do with it. If an endangered species of lizards was found in a place that was heavily logged, you would probably think they would want to restore that place so the lizard doesn't go extinct... I think it might be E

Answer 12

Because if the species of deer was overhunted then they would probably want to restore the forest so the population of deer could grow again, right?

Answer 13

Good. So, we know for a fact that A, B and D do infact require environmental restoration. What are your thoughts on C?

Answer 14

I don't think it would impact the forest that much? So it could still be restored

Answer 15

The company is doing something benefical. Therefore, there is no need for environmental restoration. However, think about E. Without a predator, the leaf eating beetles will continue to destroy the plants. Thus, we need the environmental restoration to occur here to curb this problem. Get what I'm saying?

Answer 16

Oh okay... so it is C?

Answer 17

Yep :) and I trust that you now know why?
