Got it 👍 You mean Wildlife Sanctuaries of India (sometimes written as "centuries" by mistake).
India has over 560 Wildlife Sanctuaries, protecting animals, birds, and ecosystems. Here’s a
clear overview:
---
🌳 Wildlife Sanctuaries – Key Points
Areas reserved to protect wild animals and their natural habitats.
Unlike National Parks, limited human activity (like grazing, tourism) may be allowed.
Governed under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
Many sanctuaries are later upgraded into National Parks or Tiger Reserves.
