Question

What is the difference among National parks, Sanctuaries and Reserves?

Answer 1

Wildlife sanctuaries refer to an area which provides protection and favourable living conditions to the wild animals. It is not open for general public, unlike zoo.

National park provides protection to the entire set of the ecosystem, i.e. flora, fauna, landscape, etc. of that region. Area is protected from human exploitation, industrialization and pollution.

Biosphere reserves are the protected areas, which tend to conserve the genetic diversity of the plants, animals birds, etc. No outside Species allowed.
