Examples of sparsely in a Sentence

1. Yuri Trutnev:

   There is no other place on the planet with such a huge and sparsely populated territory ... China has significant water supply problems while we possess 37 percent of water resources of the Asia-Pacific region.

2. Darryl Pitt:

   Finding meteorites in woods of Maine. It’s not the simplest of the environments, it’s a sparsely populated area but not as sparsely populated as where most meteorites fall — the ocean.

3. Stuart Pimm:

   Other than just the sheer awful news that Australia has lost so many of its species is the fact that it's done it across areas that are very, very sparsely populated, it tells us that by being careless, particularly with invasive species, that we can do an extraordinary amount of environmental harm even in places where there aren't a lot of people.

4. United States:

   Why not shoot Western Mindanao down ? We have to do the risk-reward here, so the first question is, does it pose a threat, a physical kinetic threat, to individuals in United States in the United States homeland ? Our assessment is it does not. Does it pose a threat to civilian aviation ? Our assessment is it does not. Does it pose a significantly enhanced threat on the intelligence side ? Our best assessment right now is that it does not. So given that profile, we assess the risk of downing it, even if the probability is low in a sparsely populated area of the debris falling and hurting someone or damaging property, that it was n’t worth it.

5. Ray Pruitt:
