Question

State the difference between sanctuaries and national parks.?

Answer 1

The main difference is what government (or non-government) agency manages the land and its resources. Each agency has different priorities as mandated by their organizing legislation.

Answer 2

Sanctuaries are for critters.

Parks are for people.

Answer 3

If you are asking the difference between locations for animals and people, then "An animal sanctuary is a facility where animals are brought to live and be protected for the rest of their lives. Unlike animal shelters, sanctuaries do not seek to place animals with individuals or groups, instead maintaining each animal until his or her natural death." Therefore, it is "a refuge from the dangers of the world, or a quiet place for reflection and renewal of the spirit." "An animal sanctuary is a place where animals live and are protected. In modern parlance the term is used to mean a place of safety."

A National Park, on the other hand, "is a reserve of land, usually, but not always declared and owned by a national government, protected from most human development and pollution. National parks are protected areas of IUCN category II. The largest national park in the world is the Northeast Greenland National Park, which was established in 1974."

"National parks are usually located in places which have been largely undeveloped, and often feature areas with exceptional native animals, plants and ecosystems (particularly endangered examples of such), biodiversity, or unusual geological features. Occasionally, national parks are declared in developed areas with the goal of returning the area to resemble its original state as closely as possible."
