protected territory

A protected territory refers to an area designated for conservation or management, where access and activities are regulated to preserve its ecological, cultural, or historical value. These zones aim to prevent harm caused by human activities like development, pollution, or resource extraction, ensuring the sustainability of the environment or cultural heritage. Examples include national parks, wildlife reserves, or nature sanctuaries. The goal is to balance human use with conservation efforts, allowing ecosystems and important sites to remain healthy and intact for future generations.
