Explanation: Statement 2 is incorrect: Wildlife sanctuary can be created for a particular species whereas the national park is not primarily focused on a particular species. Statement 3 is incorrect: The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 provides for the declaration of National Parks by the State Government in addition to wildlife sanctuaries but Central Government may also declare, under certain conditions. Supplementary Notes Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks National parks and wildlife sanctuaries are protected natural habitats, declared by the government of a country according to the regulations from the IUCN (The World Conservation Union) to preserve the wildlife through the conservation of ecosystems. It is important for people to understand the differences and similarities between a national park and a wildlife sanctuary. The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 provides for the establishment of Protected Areas in India. There are different categories of protected areas which are managed with different objectives for the larger motive of conservation. The Wild Life (Protection) Act (WPA) of 1972 provided for the declaration of National Parks by the State Government in addition to the declaration of wildlife sanctuaries. National Parks are declared in areas that are considered to be of adequate ecological, geomorphological and natural signi fi cance although within the law, the difference in conservation value of a National Park from that of a sanctuary is not speci fi ed in the WPA 1972. The Central Government may also declare, Wild Life Sanctuary and National Park under certain conditions. Differences National Parks enjoy a greater degree of protection than sanctuaries. Certain activities which are regulated in sanctuaries, such as grazing of livestock, are prohibited in National Parks. Wildlife sanctuary can be created for a particular species whereas the national park is not primarily focused on a particular species.
