Difference between a zoo and natural reserve?

Answer 1

The main difference between zoo animals and forest animals has a lot to do with how they are kept. Zoo animals are domesticated and learn to depend on others for food and the basic needs they encounter. forest animals depend on their instincts and their surroundings for their necessities.

Answer 2

The idea of establishing an especially beautiful place of natural wonders as a national park began in the United States in the 1860s. Scottish-born American naturalist John Muir was one of several men thinking along these lines when he lived in Yosemite Valley in California in 1861.

In 1870 the American artist Thomas Moran visited northwestern Wyoming to see the spectacular mountains, multicolored hot springs, bubbling "mud volcanoes", American bison and erupting geysers. His paintings of the region created a national sensation, and in 1872 Congress passed a bill making Yellowstone the World's first national park. It was huge, 2 million acres. For decades afterwards, more American and soon Canadian national parks were established, and most followed the theory of protecting places with magnificent mountain and forest landscapes. While the wildlife was protected from hunting in these parks, preserving the landscape and preventing logging and urbanization was the main intent. The word 'ecology' was coined in 1900, and slowly the realization grew that places that were not visually amazing but that had much wildlife deserved protection also.

Then in 1947 Marjory Stoneman Douglas and others successfully lobbied Congress to establish the 1.4 million acre Everglades National Park in South Florida. This was, in a sense, a biosphere reserve, although the word biosphere had not been coined yet. Everglades was the the first national park in which protecting the ecological integrity, water and wildlife took precedence over protectiong the scenery. (There were no mountains or canyons or waterfalls in South Florida, and this flat park is not as visually stunning as our other parks.)

In 1980 the Alaska National Interest Lands Act (ANILCA) was passed and signed into law on December 2nd by Jimmy Carter as his last major act as president. It established 7 new national parks and expanded the size of the existing one, Mount McKinley National Park, which was renamed Denali National Park. Although each of these 8 Alaskan parks had spectacular scenery, preserving the rivers, wildlife and ecosystems undisturbed was a larger part of the equation than ever before. This legislation, and the ecology-conservation movement that had grown greatly in the 1960s and 1970s influenced many nations and the United Nations to protect places as biosphere reserves. So, in summary, while the name could be a 'national park' or a 'biosphere reserve', in each case the founders seek to set aside and protect from development a place of beauty and ecological importance, but more national parks were established to protect the scenic views and prevent logging and settlement, and most biosphere reserves were established to protect wildlife and river systems.

Some places begun as national parks have later been, with the cooperation of the national authorities, also designated as biosphere reserves. So these locations retain both levels of protection, but it is always the job of the national authorities to actually enforce the rules preserving these special places in their natural states. National parks and biosphere reserves can range from a few hundred acres in size in some densely populated European countries to millions of acres in size in the U.S., Canada, South America, Africa and Tibet.

Answer 3

A national park is a "land of many uses". Americans are allowed to use the land for what they want, after getting their actions approved. For instance, some national parks are used for logging.

However, a national park reserve does not allow all of these actions and many things are restricted such as power boating and other environmentally harmful things

Answer 4

The difference between a zoo and a nature reserve is the set up and size of the area where animals live. A zoo usually has animals in smaller enclosures. A natural reserve is set up to more closely resemble the way that animals would live in the wild.

Answer 5

The main difference is that a national park is usually used as a recreational location with outdoor facilities, picnic areas and locations for shows and the likes. A nature reserve is a protected area that may or may not house endangered plants or animals.

Answer 6

Both the Zoo and an animal sanctuary give protective asylum to animals and birds. However, the zoo keeps animals in captivity, within artificially created habitat, whereas the sanctuary provides home to animals in their natural habitat without captivity.
