After that, a number of conservation areas have been declared in Europe and in many countries around the world. Protected areas cover 13.9 percent of the world land surface and coastal-ocean area. The United States is the leading country in the areas of protection. Venezuela and Germany are other countries that stand out in terms of the number and size of protected areas. There are 59 national parks in the USA. One of the most important national parks is the Yosemite National Park. This national park in the state of California is admired for its natural beauty.
