Land reservation

Land reservation refers to the practice of designating certain areas of land for specific uses or groups, often to protect cultural heritage, manage natural resources, or provide for Indigenous populations. In many countries, it involves setting aside land that cannot be sold or developed without special permission, ensuring that it remains available for its intended purpose. This can include wildlife preserves, parks, or spaces for Indigenous communities to maintain their culture and traditions. Land reservations help balance development with environmental conservation and social equity.
