wildlife reserve
Protected natural habitat
A wildlife reserve is a protected area set aside to conserve animals and their natural habitats.
Unlike zoos, reserves allow wildlife to roam freely within boundaries, with human activity restricted to minimize disturbance.
The lions were successfully reintroduced to the wildlife reserve.
Some reserves focus on specific species; others preserve entire ecosystems.
Also called a nature reserve or wildlife sanctuary.
