A game reserve (also known as a wildlife preserve or a game park) is a large area of land where wild animals live safely or are hunted in a controlled way for sport. In a game reserve, ecosystems are protected and conservation is usually key.

What is an example of a game reserve?
Game Reserves (game park) vs Nature Reserves
A good example is the Kogelberg Nature Reserve just outside of Cape Town. A Game Park or Game reserve, on the other hand, exists specifically for the preservation of wild animals. In these areas, fauna like antelope, rhino and giraffes are protected.

Why is Game Reserve important?
Biodiversity is necessary to keep our ecosystems in balance, and game reserves help to protect and conserve important ecological spaces. It is fairly well known that a number of species of animal in South Africa are facing extinction, but what is less often discussed is the threat to our vegetation and landscapes.
