Concept: integral natural reserve in the concept vocabulary

Concept URI http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/4378
Preferred label integral natural reserve
Definition Areas allocated to preserve and protect certain animals and plants, or both. They differ from national parks, which are largely a place for public recreation, because they are provided exclusively to protect species for their own sake. Endangered species are increasingly being kept in nature reserves to prevent them from extinction. Nature reserves also serve as a place for more plentiful species to rest, breed or winter.
