What is a wildlife sanctuary?
A wildlife sanctuary is a space which is set aside exclusively for the use of wild animals, who are protected when they roam or live in that area. Wildlife sanctuaries are also referred to as wildlife refuges in some areas. Typically, a wildlife sanctuary is created through a government mandate which sets the space aside for the use of animal protection, and rangers or other government employees may patrol the area to ensure that no one hunts or otherwise harasses the animals.
