问题     Widespread climate change challenges traditional notions that preserving specific chunks of land is an adequate way to protect endangered species. Commitment to particular places has taken conservation a long way, but it works only when the climate is relatively stable. When climate change rather than degraded habitat threatens a species’ survival in a particular location, moving the species to new locales might become one way of preserving it. Some ecologists argue that such assisted migration is simply a way to mimic the natural process of dispersal: its adherents intend to transport species from places that have become uninhabitable through places that humans have made impassable. Although it has its risks, assisted migration may be a necessary step in the evolution of conservation.
The passage suggests that, in order to adapt to changing conditions, conservationists should

选项 A、reformulate their goals regarding the preservation of species
B、turn their attention to reversing climate change
C、end the practice of labeling certain species as endangered
D、reconsider the measures they use to protect endangered species
E、rely on natural processes of dispersal and change

答案D

解析 根据文章作者的观点,以前保护濒危物种的方法是保护某些地方,但是随着气候变化,还应该通过人为的方法帮助物种迁徙。因此选项D正确。E项根据文章,自然的迁移过程被人类阻碍了。所以不能依赖于自然过程,而应该有人为干预。
