The better we understand the behavior and ecological niche of an endangered species, the better chance we have of saving it. And the more individuals of a species we study, the better we understand it. Therefore, _______.

Summary
The more individual members of a species we study, the better we understand that species. The better we understand the behavior and ecological niche of an endangered species, the better our chance is of saving that species.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Therefore, as a species becomes more endangered, the more difficult it is to acquire the understanding to save that species.

A
many endangered species will become extinct before we have the knowledge that is necessary to save them
We don’t know whether many endangered species will in fact become extinct. We only know that our chance of saving an endangered species increases if we better understand that species.
B
continued reduction of wildlife habitat will make the preservation of many endangered species impossible
We don’t know whether it’s impossible to save some endangered species if their habitats continue to be reduced. The stimulus does not address the reduction of wildlife habitats.
C
knowledge that contributes to saving endangered species becomes harder to get as species become more endangered
If the number of individual members of a species causally contributes to our understanding of that species, which in turn causally contributes to our chance of saving that species, it must be that the fewer the individuals left to study, the less our chance is of saving that species.
D
to save endangered species it is more important to acquire the right kind of knowledge than to take action
We don’t know whether acquiring knowledge is more important than taking action in order to save an endangered species. We only know that our chances of saving an endangered species increases as our understanding of that species increases.
E
the impact of human study of endangered species is sometimes more harmful than beneficial
We don’t know whether human study of endangered species is sometimes harmful.
