Introduction Parks and protected areas are not large enough to support the numerous species‚ natural processes‚ and habitats necessary to fully conserve biodiversity‚ especially when human operations and the population is increasing. Therefore‚ wildlife populations are continuously decreasing. In some places‚ it is not easy to attempt resource sustainability‚ there are just some areas that should be protected and not utilized in any way. These are the areas with very rare species or that are rich
