Answer:
Reserve
forests and protected forest in India are terms denoting forests accorded a
certain degree of protection and now contribute to 19.41% of the total
geographical area of the country. Though these are some differences between
these two categories, both are declared by the respective State Governments.
Right to all activities like hunting, grazing, etc are banned unless
specific orders are issued by the government in reserved forests but, in
protected areas, right to activities like hunting and grazing etc are sometimes
given to communities living on the fringes of the forest and depend on forest
for their livelihood.
Reserve forests enjoy a higher degree of protection in comparison to
protected areas and may be upgraded to the status of wildlife sancturary and in
turn national parks which a protected forest may not. Reserve forest covers more
geographical area than protected area.
