wildlife reserves
Protected natural habitats
Wildlife reserves are protected areas of land or water set aside to conserve animals and their natural habitats.
They range from small local sanctuaries to vast national preserves.
Unlike parks designed primarily for human recreation, wildlife reserves prioritize the needs of resident species: The wildlife reserve restricts visitor access during nesting season.
Also called nature reserves or wildlife refuges.
