national wildlife refuge
Government-protected animal sanctuary
A national wildlife refuge is a protected area of land or water managed by the federal government to conserve fish, wildlife, and their habitats.
The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service oversees the system, which includes marshes, forests, prairies, and coastal areas: We spotted dozens of bird species at the national wildlife refuge.
Hunting and fishing are often permitted under regulation, distinguishing refuges from strict wilderness preserves.
