Which of the following countries has more than 30% of its total area under national parks?

Israel
Bhutan
Iceland

The correct answer is (b), Bhutan.

Bhutan is a landlocked country in the Eastern Himalayas. It is bordered by China to the north and India to the south, east, and west. Bhutan has a population of approximately 770,000 people and a land area of 38,394 square kilometers. The capital of Bhutan is Thimphu.

Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. The head of state is the King, who is currently Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. The head of government is the Prime Minister, who is currently Lotay Tshering.

Bhutan is a member of the United Nations, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, and the Non-Aligned Movement.

Bhutan is a beautiful country with a rich culture and history. It is a popular tourist destination, known for its stunning scenery, its unique culture, and its commitment to sustainable development.

Bhutan is also a country with a strong commitment to environmental protection. In 2008, Bhutan became the first country in the world to declare that 60% of its land would be protected from development. This commitment has been upheld by the government, and today, Bhutan has more than 30% of its total area under national parks.

The national parks of Bhutan are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, elephants, and rhinoceroses. The parks are also important for the conservation of Bhutan’s unique plant life.

Bhutan’s commitment to environmental protection is an important example for other countries to follow. By protecting its natural resources, Bhutan is ensuring the health and well-being of its people for generations to come.
