Wildlife sanctuaries are protected areas established to conserve and rehabilitate various species of animals and their natural habitats. These sanctuaries provide a safe environment for wildlife, allowing them to live freely without the threat of poaching or habitat destruction. They often focus on endangered species, helping to increase their populations and promote biodiversity. In addition to protecting animals, wildlife sanctuaries also play a crucial role in education and research. They offer opportunities for visitors to learn about different species and the importance of conservation efforts. Many sanctuaries collaborate with organizations like WWF and IUCN to promote awareness and support for wildlife protection initiatives.
