Impacts of change and measures to manage these impacts; conservation strategies
Human activities damage local ecosystems by reducing biodiversity — the variety of species present. Conservation strategies are the planned actions managers use to slow or reverse that damage.
Real World
Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship scheme pays farmers on Dartmoor to graze cattle at controlled densities on heathland, preventing scrub encroachment and maintaining the plagioclimax that supports ground-nesting birds like the curlew.
Exam Focus
Pair each impact with a specific management strategy — answers that only list problems without linking to solutions rarely reach the top mark band.
