Across
  1. 6. uncut forest that has not been seriously disturbed by human activities or natural disasters for years
  2. 8. are unfenced grasslands in temperate and tropical climates that supply forage, or vegetation, for grazing (grass-eating) and browsing (shrub-eating) animals.
  3. 10. Replacing a degraded ecosystem with another type of ecosystem.
  4. 12. large areas of undeveloped land
  5. 14. Turning of a degraded ecosystem into a functional or useful ecosystem without trying to restore it to its original condition.
  6. 15. temporary or permanent removal of large expanses of forest
  7. 16. occurs when too many animals graze for too long and exceed the carrying capacity of a rangeland area
  8. 18. extremely hot fire that leaps from treetop to treetop
  9. 20. managed tract with uniformly aged trees of one or two genetically uniform species
  10. 23. a tree-dwelling monkey found in the forest of East Arc Mountain.
  11. 24. It is the process of repairing damages caused by humans to the biodiversity and dynamics of natural ecosystem.
  12. 25. one of the biggest problems for many parks
Down
  1. 1. Conservancy with more than 1 million members worldwide has created the world’s largest system of private natural areas and wildlife sanctuaries in 30 countries
  2. 2. corridors helps to support more species and allows migration by vertebrates that need large ranges.
  3. 3. zone protecting an inner core of a re-serve by usually establishing two buffer zones in which local people can extract resources sustainably without harming the inner core.
  4. 4. managed grasslands or enclosed meadows usually planted with domesticated grasses or other forage.
  5. 5. strategy where governments or private conservation organizations pay nations for concessions to preserve their natural resources.
  6. 7. where absence of grazing for long periods (at least 5 years) can reduce the net primary productivity of grassland vegetation and grass cover.
  7. 9. stand of trees resulting from secondary ecological succession
  8. 11. main herbivores in the Yellow stone system, are the primary food source for the wolves, but wolves also kill some moose, mule deer, and bison
  9. 13. most efficient way for a logging operation to harvest trees
  10. 17. A process wherein a degraded habitat or ecosystem is being returned to a condition as similar as possible to its natural state.
  11. 19. A new form of conservation biology suggested by Rosenzweig.
  12. 21. along with highly valuable ecological services, forests provide us with raw materials, especially ___
  13. 22. is classified as one of the world’s leading failing states because of fuelwood crisis
