Conservationists have noticed a reduction in biodiversity on both a genetic level and a species level for two forested areas in the Southeast. A model of the size and separation of the forested areas is shown here. What solutions might the conservationists propose in order to maintain or increase the genetic diversity and the species diversity within those forested areas? Select ALL that apply.
