  • A wildlife sanctuary is a naturally occurring safe haven for animals that offers protection to them from hunting, predation or competition. Such sanctuaries have the sanction of the respectyuve governments.
  • A biosphere reserve is a region that aims at preserving biological diversity along with economic development. The UNESCO designates biosphere reserves.
  • A bird sanctuary is similar to a wildlife sanctuary in characteristics except for the fact that such reserves preserve the breeding and nesting areas of birds. Hunting as in the case of wildlife sanctuaries, is prohibited here too.
