Conservation Reserves are the legally protected areas which act as a buffer zone or connectors or migratory corridors between two ecologically separated wildlife habitats to avoid fragmentation. The wildlife conserves are declared by the state government in official gazette.[1] The state government after consultation with the local communities can declare any land adjacent to National Park or sanctuaries or linking two protected areas which is owned by the government as conservation reserve under the section 36A of The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.[2]
