20) Paper parks are ________.

A) portions of the wilderness areas where timber harvesting is permitted
B) parks established where timber harvesters formerly harvested wood for paper mills
C) land trust areas where timber harvesting is permitted
D) areas protected on paper but not in reality due to lack of funding
E) portions of the national parks where timber harvesting is permitted

Answer 1

Paper parks are areas that are protected only on paper due to the lack of enforcement and funding, leading to environmental degradation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper parks are areas protected on paper but not in reality due to lack of funding. While these areas are designated as preserves, the enforcement of protections is often inadequate due to limited resources. As a result, despite the official protected status, these areas can suffer from illegal poaching, timber extraction, and other forms of environmental degradation.
