wildlife haven

Creatures' protected territory

A wildlife haven is a place where wild animals find protection and can thrive—whether a formally designated sanctuary or simply a property managed to attract and shelter creatures.

The term emphasizes safety and refuge: The wetland restoration created a wildlife haven for migratory birds.

Backyards with native plants and water features are sometimes called wildlife havens by conservation groups encouraging habitat creation.
