Why is it most important to preserve natural places such as carlsbad canyon a) the federal government requires states to preserve sitesb) there are easily damaged by human activityc) theodore roosevelt cared about wildlife and natural areasd) the places always have special significance for native americans

B. They are easily damaged by human activity. This is especially true this day in age. People do not tend to have a good conscience of right or wrong. For example, if a natural place like Yellowstone park was not protected, you would have hunters killing out many of the species that are close to extinction. You would also have people who were littering more than necessary. This would cause the native wildlife to suffer by either eating things they shouldn't or getting caught in things like plastic pop rings or twine. If the natural preserve were a cave, many young kids may decide to go in and try to damage the area with fireworks or other means just for fun.
