natural preserve
Conserved wild area
A natural preserve is an area of land or water protected from development to maintain its ecological character.
Unlike parks designed for recreation, preserves prioritize conservation—limiting human activity to protect wildlife habitats, native plants, or geological features.
The wetland was designated a natural preserve to protect migratory birds.
Also called a nature preserve or nature reserve.
