Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of land preservation: Land preservation refers to areas set aside to protect natural resources, wildlife, and ecosystems. These can include national parks, wildlife reserves, and other protected areas.
Identify the options given in the problem: The problem provides four percentage options for the amount of land preserved globally: 5%, 15%, 35%, and 25%.
Consider the global context: Research or recall information about global land preservation efforts. Organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) provide data on protected areas worldwide.
Analyze trends in conservation: Over the years, there has been an increase in the amount of land designated as protected due to growing awareness of environmental issues. This can help in estimating the correct percentage.
Select the most reasonable percentage: Based on the understanding of global conservation efforts and trends, choose the percentage that aligns with current data on land preservation.
