Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. [I] Invasive species pose a significant threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human activities. [II] These species can include amphibians like cane toads, plants, insects, fish, fungi, bacteria, or even seeds and eggs that are not native to a specific area. [III] Not all invasive species come from other countries. [IV] For example, lake trout, native to the Great Lakes, are considered invasive in Yellowstone Lake because they compete with native cutthroat trout for habitat and resources.

2. Human activities are the primary way invasive species spread, often unintentionally. Global travel and trade allow species to move quickly across ecosystems. Ships can carry aquatic organisms in their ballast water, while smaller boats transport species on their propellers. Insects can travel in wooden shipping crates or pallets, and ornamental plants may escape into the wild and spread. Released pets, like Burmese pythons in the Everglades, can also become invasive. Additionally, climate change worsens the situation by enabling invasive plants, like kudzu, and pests, like the mountain pine beetle, to expand into new areas.

3. Invasive species harm wildlife in various ways. Without natural predators, they can reproduce quickly and dominate ecosystems. Native animals often lack defenses or cannot compete with these aggressive species, which leads to disruptions in the ecosystem and poses serious challenges for native wildlife.

4. Direct threats from invasive species include preying on native wildlife, spreading diseases, and competing for food and resources. Indirectly, invasive species disrupt ecosystems by reducing biodiversity, destroying native food sources, and altering habitats. For instance, aggressive plants like kudzu can create monocultures, replacing diverse ecosystems. Some invasive species even change soil chemistry or increase wildfire risks. Preventing the spread of invasive species is essential to protect ecosystems and maintain biodiversity.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way invasive species enter a region?

Sustainable Tourism in UNESCO World Heritage Marine Sites

1. On 5 December 2024, managers from 51 UNESCO World Heritage marine sites joined an online meeting with experts from UNESCO and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The meeting aimed to provide site managers with knowledge and tools for sustainable tourism management. This would help them implement strategies to monitor and protect their sites from the harmful effects of over-tourism.

2. Tourism and UNESCO World Heritage marine sites are deeply interconnected, as these flagship marine protected areas (MPAs) often become major tourist destinations, drawing visitors from around the world. While tourism can foster economic growth and offer social benefits to local communities, it also presents risks. Uncontrolled development and excessive visitor numbers can threaten the integrity of these sites, especially as they face challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss.

3. During the meeting, managers shared their experiences and strategies. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia presented its sustainability framework, focusing on Protection, Presentation, and Partnership. This involves conservation, educating visitors, and using data to adjust management strategies. In Palau, the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon emphasized community-based efforts, strict visitor regulations, and cultural awareness, including the Palau Pledge, where visitors promise to respect the environment.

4. Global experts also shared effective practices for promoting sustainable tourism in protected areas. Peter Debrine from UNESCO highlighted the importance of managing visitor data and involving communities to protect these sites' Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). Arnau Teixidor from IUCN shared tools for promoting ecotourism and measuring impacts in Mediterranean marine areas. These approaches demonstrate how collaboration and innovative strategies can help balance tourism and conservation in marine protected areas.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause affecting marine sites?
