A National Park are wildlife and botanical sanctuaries that do not allow human habitation or use of the land and is administered by the government. A National Reserve is similar but under certain conditions the land may be used for purposes other than nature conservation. Therefore, some controlled agriculture may be allowed. Administration is done by a body such as a conservancy, local council or trust.
