Which method is not used to protect endangered species? a. poaching b. captivity c. species preservation d. reintroduction

Option (A)

Explanation:

Endangered species are usually referred to those living species that are very limited in number, found in a particular habitat, and that are on the verge of extinction. For example, tiger, one-horned rhinoceros, sea turtles and many others.

Poaching is an activity that is not to protect the endangered species but to reduce them. This activity refers to the illegal killing and hunting of wild animals, from which they acquire financial benefits, by selling the contrasting and demanding body parts of the animals, such as elephant trunks, skins of tiger and rhinos to make leather items.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
