- ALT1:... that 15% of the Guapi-Guapiaçú Environmental Protection Area has been set aside for sustainable use?

Created/expanded by Aymatth2 (talk). Nominated by Iazyges (talk) at 19:54, 10 October 2016 (UTC).

@Aymatth2: @Iazyges: Article is new enough (when nominated), long enough, nominator doesn't require QPQ since he/she has only one DYK credit, though creator has had several. Hooks need correcting or clarification. Hook 1 says the area has lost 71% of its vegetation, but Bing Translator tells me the source merely says vegetation is absent from the 71%, not that it was once there and lost. Hook 2 appears to be verified regarding the 15% figure, however, in article, it states "1,539 hectares (3,800 acres) has natural vegetation" and Bing Translator tells me the "1,539" figure refers to land without vegetation.

@Ribbet32: You are absolutely right about the hooks. I must have been half asleep when I looked at that table, and mixed up APA and APP. No excuse. I have corrected the article to say what the source says. I suggest ALT2 below: Aymatth2 (talk) 23:38, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

ALT2:... that 71% of permanently protected land in the Guapi-Guapiaçú Environmental Protection Area in Brazil has no natural vegetation?

Being asleep, and the fact that it was caught and corrected, is plenty excuse ;) I added "in Brazil" to the hook as 99.9% of readers (including me) won't know where this is; think it's good now. Ribbet32 (talk) 23:49, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
