Answers
Explanation:
Botanical garden
Botanical garden, also called botanic garden, originally, a collection of living plants designed chiefly to illustrate relationships within plant groups. In modern times, most botanical gardens are concerned primarily with exhibiting ornamental plants, insofar as possible in a scheme that emphasizes natural relationships. Thus, the two functions are blended: eye appeal and taxonomic order. Plants that were once of medicinal value and extremely important in early botanical gardens are now chiefly of historical interest and are not particularly represented in contemporary collections. A display garden that concentrates on woody plants (shrubs and trees) is often referred to as an arboretum. It may be a collection in its own right or a part of a botanical garden.
A major contemporary objective of botanical gardens is to maintain extensive collections of plants, labeled with common and scientific names and regions of origin. Plant collections in such gardens vary in number from a few hundred to several thousand different kinds, depending on the land area available and the financial and scholarly resources of the institution.
eg: England’s Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew
Zoological park
Zoo, also called zoological garden or zoological park, place where wild animals and, in some instances, domesticated animals are exhibited in captivity. In such an establishment animals can generally be given more intensive care than is possible in nature reserves or sanctuaries. Most long-established zoos exhibit general collections of animals, but some formed more recently specialize in particular groups—e.g., primates, big cats, tropical birds, or waterfowl. Marine invertebrates, fishes, and marine mammals often are kept in separate establishments known as aquariums . .
Biodiversity park
Biodiversity parks, which are assemblages of species in the form of biotic communities that belong to a particular ecological range, help promote urban biodiversity conservation as they serve as nature reserves within urban areas. They create a healthy ecosystem and also provide conservational, educational and recreational benefits to the cities.
eg; The Yamuna Biodiversity Park
Biodiversity parks with their rich flora and fauna, managed and developed using scientific expertise are ideal instruments for promoting conservation education that will ultimately have a positive impact on environment quality and conservation ethics. These parks offer a wide range of opportunities for people to learn and adapt the ways and means by which they may live in harmony with nature. The Yamuna Biodiversity Park is also an open-air laboratory for a range of students and researchers. Groups are led through the park on a predetermined nature trail and it has already become a location where education on environment, sustainable development and conservation is being imparted at a primary, secondary and tertiary level. Around 10,000 students/trainees/nature lovers from schools, colleges, institutions and NGOs visit it every year.
