A forest reserve is an area of land set aside for environmental protection and recreation, typically in a developing or less developed region. These reserves typically contain a variety of different trees, plants, and wildlife and are managed to ensure the area remains healthy. A national park, on the other hand, is a protected area of land or water set aside for the preservation of wildlife and other natural resources. It is typically larger than a forest reserve and may include a variety of recreational activities within its boundaries. These can range from hiking, camping, bird watching, fishing, and more. Generally speaking, a national park is strictly protected and has very strict regulations as to what activities are allowed, while a forest reserve allows more freedom allow a wider range of activities.
