wildlife preserve
Protected natural habitat
A wildlife preserve is a protected area of land or water set aside to conserve animals, plants, and their natural habitats.
Unlike zoos, preserves allow creatures to live in conditions close to their wild state, with human access typically limited or regulated.
The terms wildlife preserve, wildlife refuge, and wildlife sanctuary are often used interchangeably, though refuges in the U.S. are usually federally managed.
The wetlands were designated a wildlife preserve to protect migratory birds.
