Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The statement that large areas of wetlands were restored since bluebirds require this type of habitat for food and shelter is not true. Bluebirds typically inhabit open woodlands, fields, and meadows, and do not require wetlands for their survival. The other three statements are true and reflect how reconciliation ecology was used to assist populations of bluebirds.
