If the biocapacity of a country is 3 global hectares per capita and the population is 6,000, then the total biocapacity would be 18,000 global hectares. To be sustainable, the ecological footprint should not exceed the biocapacity available. Therefore, each person should have an ecological footprint of no more than 3 global hectares per capita, which is the same as the biocapacity. Therefore, the answer is 3.
