wildlife area
Protected natural habitat
A wildlife area is a tract of land set aside for the protection and management of wild animals and their habitats.
Unlike strict nature reserves, wildlife areas often permit controlled activities like hunting, fishing, or wildlife observation: The state wildlife area opens for duck hunting in October.
The term appears frequently in government land designations.
