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!!
