Question

What is the purpose of maintaining the continuity of forested landscapes and corridors?

2. Management of mineral resources. 
3. Grant of forest lands for human activities.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Accepted Answer

The purpose of maintaining the continuity of forested landscapes and corridors is primarily ecological.

1.  Preservation of biodiversity: Correct. Forest corridors allow wildlife to move between fragmented habitats, access food and water, find mates, and maintain genetic diversity, all crucial for biodiversity preservation.
2.  Management of mineral resources: Incorrect. Maintaining forest continuity is a conservation strategy, not a method for managing mineral resources. In fact, mineral extraction often leads to forest fragmentation.
3.  Grant of forest lands for human activities: Incorrect. Granting forest lands for human activities (like agriculture, infrastructure, or settlements) would break the continuity of forested landscapes and corridors, directly opposing the purpose.

Since only statement 1 is a correct purpose, and there is no option that includes only statement 1, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they include incorrect statements (2 and/or 3). Therefore, "None of the above" is the correct answer.
