  National parks are actually protected areas. IUCN definition of a protected area: “A clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”.

  Conservation of biodiversity (the variety of our native species and the ecosystems they form) is the central purpose of protected areas. High levels of biodiversity keep ecosystems healthy and resilient, which means that they continue providing vital ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, climate regulation, air and water purification and pollination.

  Protecting biodiversity is vital to safeguard our economy; our cultural, spiritual and aesthetic values; and the intrinsic value of species and ecosystems. National parks provide a safe home for native plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. National parks give us places to enjoy.

Is national park a protected area?

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

  Dear Kate,

  How have you been? It has been a long time since I wrote a letter. I was caught up with the holidays and Mama's family came over, so was not able to write any. Hope you have become accustomed to the hostel food there.

  When Mama and her family came over, we all went to the Jim Corbett National Park. It was spread on a huge area with huge deciduous and mango trees. There were more than 100 species of trees, with so many varieties of birds, reptiles, and other mammals. The Tigers were the special tourist attractions there.

  We also went on an early morning safari and we were able to spot a sambar deer and an elephant. There were the Kalagarh dam and the Corbett falls which were awesome. I will show you all the pictures when you come over for the next holidays.

  Also, let's plan to visit there together again when you come here.

  Study well, eat well, and sleep well.

  Take care.

  Love,

   Jack
