Let us know about wildlife sanctuaries now:

Wildlife Sanctuaries:- It is an area which is strictly reserved for the protection of wildlife in their natural habitat. A wildlife sanctuary provides protection and suitable living conditions to animals in their own natural habitat. It does not allow any human activity which disturbs the wild animals and their habitats. In a wildlife sanctuary, some activities like harvesting of timber and collection of minor forest products are allowed, however these do not interfere with the well being of the animals. Wildlife sanctuaries also provide safe habitat for some of the threatened wild animals like black buck, elephant, golden cat, pink headed duck, phyton and rhinoceros.

Wildlife sanctuaries are different from zoos because in wildlife sanctuaries animals live freely in their natural habitat, while in zoos they're kept in cages. There are 500 wildlife sanctuaries in India.
