Answer
A wildlife sanctuary is a protected area dedicated to conserving wildlife and their natural habitats, where hunting and poaching are prohibited. Unlike national parks, sanctuaries may allow some controlled human activities that don't harm wildlife. Two prominent wildlife sanctuaries in India are:
- Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary - Located in Kerala, this sanctuary is famous for its elephant and tiger populations, set around the scenic Periyar Lake.
- Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary - Situated in Assam, this sanctuary is renowned for its one-horned rhinoceros population and diverse birdlife.
These sanctuaries provide safe havens for threatened species while promoting conservation awareness and eco-tourism.
