Options

B. protection of only consumers
C. protection of only herbivores
D. comprehensive programme to protect all the physical and biological components

Answer

D

Explanation

Forest conservation strategy should involve comprehensive programme to protect all the physical and biological components (i.e, the ecosystem). If organisms only at a particular trophic levels are protected. The ecosystem would be distrubed, as the organisms at the lower trophic level would vanish fast. This will lead to situation where the organisms at all the upper trophic levels would die due to starvation.
