WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY AND A NATIONAL PARK?

Hi Nanditha,

 

Wildlife Sanctuary
National Parks
 
It is an area which is free from disturbances from human activities, and is devoted for the conservation and protection of wildlife.
National Parksare those reserved areas where no human activity is allowed at all.
Wildlife sanctuaries are under the jurisdiction of the state government
National parks are under the jurisdiction of the central government
Example: The Mudumalai wildlife sanctuary in Tamil Nadu.
 
Example: Kaziranga National Park in Assam

Hope this helps,

Cheers!!
