Scientists studying San Joaquin kit foxes have proposed the three strategies shown in an effort to increase the kit fox population. • Strategy 1: Work with landowners to create artificial dens that prevent coyotes and bobcats from entering.
Strategy 2: Place tracking devices on lizards and rodents to understand how
the kit fox's prey use the territory.
• Strategy 3: Restore a portion of agricultural land back to its original saltbush
habitat.
Identify which strategy is likely to result in the greatest increase in the San Joaquin kit fox population. Explain why the strategy you identified is more likely than the other two strategies to lead to the greatest increase in the kit fox population. Use
evidence from the information about kit foxes to support your explanation.
