Question

(a) Killing all the wild animals

(b) Shifting all the wild animals from natural forests to zoo

(c) Use of strobe lights

(d) Kill the animals when they invade outside the forests

I got this question in an international level competition.

Question is from Human-Wildlife Conflicts, Threats and Conservation of Biodiversity in chapter Biodiversity of Energy Management

Answer 1

Right option is (c) Use of strobe lights

Easy explanation: Strobe lights help to scare off destructive nocturnal wildlife. Wary nocturnal have been shown to avoid such light signals. Half strobe light and half motion sensor, the machines flash beams of light randomly in all directions to mimic a farmer with a flashlight.
