Across
- 3. the population of organisms that have genetically based characteristics such as size or color that differ from members of the same species in a different area
- 10. United Nations has facilitated treaties to protect biodiversity
- 12. the number or variety of species in a given area
- 14. DNA from endangered species inserted into cultivated egg cell with nucleus removed
- 16. environmentally responsible travel to protected natural areas for the purpose of appreciating nature, promoting conservation, and providing economic benefit to local people
- 17. an animal that feeds on grass and other plants
- 19. the variety of ecosystems, communities or habitats
Down
- 1. an animal that eats flesh
- 2. happens when humans hunt, fish, or harvest a species faster than it can replenish its population

- 5. process of breeding and raising organisms in controlled conditions
- 6. a link of wildlife habitat that joins two or more larger areas of similar wildlife habitat
- 7. the general increase in species richness toward the equator
- 8. an area that both supports an especially high number of endemic species and is rapidly losing biodiversity
- 9. the differences in DNA among individuals of a population of species
- 11. organisms only existing in one geographic area
- 13. scientists who classify species using an organism’s physical appearance and genetic makeup
- 15. the variety of life across all levels of ecological organization
- 18. an organism that eats both plants and animals
