Conservation Reserves of Bharat: List of Conservation Reserves in India
What is a conservation reserve?: Conservation reserves and community reserves in India refer to protected areas of India that generally act as buffer zones or connectors and migration corridors between established national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserved and protected forests. Such areas are designated as conservation areas if they are uninhabited and entirely owned by the government, but are used for subsistence by communities and community areas if part of the land is privately owned.
These protected area categories were first introduced in the Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act 2002 – an amendment to the Wildlife Protection Act 1972. These categories were added due to reduced protection in and around existing or proposed protected areas due to private ownership of land.
