Q: What is the difference between a National Park and a Sanctuary?

Answer: There are three important differences –

1. All rights of people within a National Park have to be settled while rights over land can be allowed inside a Sanctuary.
2. Grazing of livestock can be permitted inside a Sanctuary but not inside a National Park.
3. A Sanctuary can be upgraded as a National Park. However a National Park cannot be downgraded as a Sanctuary.
