Which strategy focuses on avoiding environmentally sensitive lands in site development?

Preservation
Location Selection
Eco-friendly Advocacy
Sustainability Planning

The correct answer is: Location Selection

The focus of the correct answer on avoiding environmentally sensitive lands in site development aligns closely with the principles of sustainable site selection. This strategy prioritizes choosing locations that minimize disruption to natural ecosystems, protect wildlife habitats, and conserve biodiversity. By steering development away from areas that could be ecologically vulnerable, it not only safeguards the environment but also contributes to long-term sustainability of the site and the surrounding regions. Other options may touch on aspects of environmental stewardship but do not specifically address the avoidance of sensitive lands in a targeted manner. For example, preservation generally refers to maintaining existing natural features but doesn’t explicitly involve selecting locations based on environmental sensitivity. Eco-friendly advocacy might promote sustainable practices without directly addressing site selection, while sustainability planning is more broad and encompasses various strategies, not solely focused on site location.
