Wildlife sanctuaries :

  1. These are the protected areas for the conservation of animal species in their natural habitat.
  2. In these protected areas few human activities such as harvesting timber, or collection of minor forest products are allowed until it interferes with animal species living in that area.

  2. Buffer zone: The restricted zone of the biosphere where few human activities for research purposes are allowed.
  3. Transition zone: The zone of the biosphere where human settlement and collection of minor forest products are allowed.

Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve is located in Madhya Pradesh.

  1. This biosphere reserve includes two wildlife sanctuaries (The Bori Sanctuary, and Pachmarhi sanctuary) and one national park (Satpura national park).

Final Answer: Thus, the two wildlife sanctuaries present in the Pachmarhi biosphere reserve are the Bori Sanctuary and Pachmarhi Sanctuary.
