Sanctuaries

Sanctuaries are designated areas that provide protection and safety for wildlife, cultural heritage, or vulnerable communities. They serve as safe havens where animals can live free from threats like habitat destruction and poaching, or where cultural practices and traditions can be preserved. Examples include wildlife sanctuaries that protect endangered species and historical sanctuaries that safeguard archaeological sites. The concept emphasizes conservation and the importance of maintaining biodiversity and cultural identities in a sustainable manner, allowing both nature and communities to thrive.
