Hello everyone. And in today's video we have a very simple problem. So let's jump straight into it, identify the protected areas that have been established to preserve biodiversity. So these are areas that have been established to preserve animals, plants and other forms of life. And so we've given three main choices. And these include national parks, water parks and amusement parks and answer choice D, which includes both A. N. C. And so let's quickly go over or let's quickly recall some of the main types of protected areas that have been established to preserve biodiversity. And these include national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and look at our answer choices. The only one that correlates this answer choice a national parks which is given here. And so if we look at the rest of our answer choices, we have be water parks and see amusement parks. These are mostly made for human consumption. They are not really to preserve biodiversity, which makes answer choice a or final answer. So thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video and I really hope it helped you
