Reading
One of the more serious threats facing wildlife in North America is the future of bobwhite quails. Native to Mexico, the Caribbean and the US, these "New World" quails have declined dramatically in number. In fact, in the past 40 years, the population of wild bobwhite quail has fallen 82 percent. Recreational hunters and conservationists claim that actions need to be taken to reverse this trend.
First, because so much land is taken up by crops and agriculture, it is necessary for each farmer to create a small area of native plants dedicated to quail. Successful quail habitat management requires meeting all the quail's needs in these small areas.
Next, hunters must stop "over-hunting." The bobwhite's popularity as a game bird has led to excessive hunting, causing a decline in quail populations. By shortening the hunting season to two months in some areas, and by completely banning hunting in areas where quail have disappeared, quail will have the opportunity to reproduce and
build in number.
Finally, we need to encourage individuals to breed large numbers of bobwhite quail and release them into the wild. For example, growers can buy quail eggs and raise them.
Alternatively, growers can buy a breeding pair of adult quail. Young quail grow quickly and are ready for release at 16 weeks. By artificially restocking quail populations through the release of penraised birds, hunting and conservation interests will benefit.

Professor: Both hunting enthusiasts and biologists are searching for ways to boost bobwhite quail populations. It's not an easy task because bobwhite quail have complex habitat requirements, much more complex than most other animals. Yet the steps proposed in the reading passage will not be effective in increasing quail populations.
First, people need to recognize that we can't increase the quail population with little plots of land here and there. Rather, what is needed is a cooperative strategy that involves wildlife management across multiple regions. Professionals have been saying that
creating small-scale plots on a farm will be enough, but it hasn't worked. The reason is that these isolated islands of land are not connected to one another. Biologists now realize we must have pieces of land that are connected to one another. The habitat areas must be managed across regional borders, integrated with pre-existing pieces of
agricultural land.
Second, over-hunting is not a major factor contributing to the decline of quail populations. Even where the hunting season has been eliminated entirely, quail numbers have decreased. Quail are extremely prolific breeders - a single hen may lay a dozen eggs. But their life cycles are short - which makes it important for quail to have timely access
to proper nesting habitats, where they can reproduce.
Finally, the proposal to release pen-raised bobwhite quail into the wild is a bad idea. Captive-bred bobwhites will seriously harm wild quail populations because their genetic DNA tends to be inferior, due to years of inter-breeding. Moreover, pen-raised quail often are docile and have trouble surviving in the wild. A better plan is to trap wild bobwhite quail in areas where they are abundant and then transfer them to areas of good habial the breeding population of the wild quails.
where quall are few. This "trap and transfer" approach maintains the genetic integrity of the breeding population of th wild quails.
