Which subcategory under Use of Land and Ecology focuses on improving ecological features?

• A. Ecological Features Improvement
• B. Vegetated Open Spaces Promotion
• C. Light Pollution Reduction
• D. High Priority Site

Answer: (A)

Improving ecological features on a site focuses on actively enhancing the living components of the landscape—habitats for wildlife, native biodiversity, soil health, water features, and the ecological processes that support them. This subcategory targets strengthening ecosystem function and resilience, not just adding green space or reducing harms. That makes it the most fitting way to elevate ecological performance under Use of Land and Ecology. Other options touch on related ideas but not the same emphasis: promoting vegetated open spaces stresses more vegetation area rather than improving ecological function; reducing light pollution concentrates on lighting effects and nighttime ecology rather than enhancing ecological features; prioritizing high priority sites is about site selection and constraints, not about boosting ecological quality on the site itself.
