Document Summary
Suggest how the theory of island biogeography can be applied to predict how many s pecies will become extinct in national parks and reserves. Theory predicts: bigger island support more species than small islands, more distant islands have less immigration to replace extinctions so have less species. If we are reducing the size of native habitats we predict species will be lost. Large reserves better than small: restoration of habitat adjacent to reserves my increase species supported and. Reserves close to others better than isolated increase total area. Suggest which one is most important when c onsidering our future and explain why environment social economic. Environment social economic all are equally important because. Cannot achieve sustainability if not considering all three: maintaining adequate food production for the growing human population is best achi eved by continued improvement to intensive agricultural practices .
