In a study of a nature reserve in southern Africa, researchers tracked the populations of several mammal species. The table below shows the estimated population of the sable antelope between 1992 and 2020:
| Year | Estimated Population |
|---|---|
| 1992 | 5400 |
| 2000 | 4300 |
| 2010 | 2800 |
| 2020 | 1200 |
Calculate the average rate of change in the sable antelope population between 1992 and 2020. Include the appropriate sign to show whether the population increased or decreased.
Maintaining biodiversity in this reserve is of great importance. The reasons for maintaining biodiversity can be grouped into three main categories: ecological, economic, and aesthetic.
Below are six statements, A to F, regarding the biodiversity of this reserve:
Complete the classification by matching each of the statements (A to F) with its appropriate category. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
