16. the goals of biodiversity conservation include all of the following except (1 point) protecting individual species. introducing exotic species into new environments. preserving habitats and ecosystems. making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts.

The best answer is: introducing exotic species into new environments. This can be actually bad, as new species can actually reduce the biodiversity in the environments to which they're introduced , such when cats hunt indigenous birds.

I was a bit thinking about the last option too: making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts. This is not one of the classical goals of the conservation efforts, but since the previous one is definitely correct, i don't this one is. (it's not that it's not a goal, but it isn't a main focus)

Ican try, but i’m gonna need some info.
