What is the hunter's role in wildlife conservation?

Purchasing hunting licenses and equipment
Feeding wildlife regularly
Introducing non-native species for diversity
Eradicating all predators to increase game populations

The correct answer is: Purchasing hunting licenses and equipment

Hunters play a crucial role in wildlife conservation by purchasing hunting licenses and equipment. This financial contribution directly supports wildlife management and conservation efforts, such as habitat preservation, population monitoring, and research. By participating in regulated hunting activities, hunters help maintain healthy wildlife populations, manage species numbers, control diseases, and minimize human-wildlife conflicts. In contrast, the other options are not aligned with the principles of wildlife conservation. Feeding wildlife regularly can lead to dependency and unhealthy behaviors, introducing non-native species can disrupt ecosystems, and eradicating all predators can destabilize natural wildlife balance.
