• A. To reduce biodiversity
• B. To exploit our common resources for economic growth
• c. To conserve our common resources
D. To determine the economic value of each species

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. To conserve our common resources.


The primary purpose of the ESA is to prevent the extinction of species and to promote their recovery. The ESA is necessary because many species are threatened by human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, over-harvesting, and climate change. These activities can cause a decline in species populations and can lead to extinction. The ESA provides a framework for identifying and protecting endangered and threatened species and their habitats.

Answer 2

The answer to this question is most likely C- to conserve our common resources.
