In other words, it is purely reticent for the betterment of wildlife and biodiversity. Also, it is the place where activities such as developmental, forestry, poaching, hunting, and grazing on cultivation are not allowed. Before declaring the area as a national park, the government should consider some major points like providing adequate ecological, geomorphological, and have natural significance.

However, national parks completely come under the government so private ownership rights are not permitted. Mostly, they are slight reserves scatter in an area of 100 sq. km. to 500 sq. km with well-marked and circumscribed boundaries. Especially, Indian National Parks focuses on the conservation of a single floral or fauna species.

Significance of Indian National Parks

• National parks help the economy by encouraging agricultural activities. For instance, in several guarded marine areas, fish are permitted to breed and grow. They spill out into the fished areas. This shows the recovery of the fished areas and permits more fish to be catch and sold.
• Regional Communities and Tribes connected with the area of the Park thrive socially and economically.
• Domestic national parks permit the wild relatives of common crops to flourish in them. This allows for various genetic materials later used for crop breeding and safeguarding against crop damage or failure.

About Wildlife Sanctuary in India

Wildlife Sanctuary is an area defined for the security of a special species of flora and fauna. Inadequate human activities may be provided by the officials of state government for the existing people. For instance, Wildlife critics may acknowledge livestock grazing for a selective community existing there. Any exploitation of wildlife is a punishable crime and elimination of forest produce requires a certificate from the appropriate National or State Wildlife Board.
