national reserve

Government-protected land area

A national reserve is an area of land set aside by government for protection or special use—often for conservation, military purposes, or resource management.

The term overlaps with national park but typically implies less restrictive access or more utilitarian goals: The national reserve allows limited logging under strict guidelines.

National reserves may also refer to a country's stockpiled resources or backup military forces.
