national preserve
Government-protected natural area
A national preserve is a protected area of land designated by a government to conserve natural resources, wildlife, or ecosystems while typically allowing some traditional activities like hunting, fishing, or resource extraction that would be prohibited in a national park.
Big Cypress National Preserve borders the Everglades.
The distinction from parks varies by country, but preserves generally balance conservation with continued human use.
