参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Connectivity is an important fakd7j9ex27 im actor in the design of protected areas as it allows species to move freely and seasonally to feed or breed. To prevent inbreeding, corridors allow animals to move and mdxj7im 7k9ae2 ate with other distinct populations for healthier offspring. Urban development can cause fragmentation of forests or ecosystems, and corridors can counter the effects of this.
Though visually appealing areas or aesthetics are important to attract tourists, it is not the most important factor in the design of a reserve (Option A).
Adhering to political boundaries can result in fragmentation and prevent the free movement of animals (Option B); it is therefore not important to stick to the boundaries of countries.
Long-term goals for conservation can be difficult to achieve if the value is placed on short-term economic returns from the building of a protected area (Option C), and should therefore not be the most important consideration.
