问题 According to Timberlake, which of the following is NOT a threat to wildlife?
The expeditions are being launched by the National Museum of Natural History in Paris and Pro-Natura International, along with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The first team is setting out in November, to conduct an inventory of fauna and flora in little-known areas of Mozambique.
    Worldwide, scientists have only identified a small fraction of the millions of species they estimate are living on our planet. Taking these kinds of inventories is critical, they say, because habitats are disappearing.
    A botanist at London’s Royal Botanic Gardens, Jonathan Timberlake, is a member of the research team going to Mozambique to focus on little-known coastal forest areas.
    The project is being conducted in close collaboration with Mozambican research institutes. Timberlake says taking stock of the country’ s biodiversity is critical because Mozambique is developing rapidly. Agriculture, timber extraction, oil and gas exploration all pose threats to wildlife.
    Next year, scientists will also take stock of the marine biodiversity in previously unexplored areas of Madagascar. The two projects are part of a massive, 10-year enterprise dubbed "Our Planet Reviewed." The goal is to conduct biodiversity inventories of little known areas around the world that are considered priorities in nature conservation.
