Complete answer: The creation of sanctuaries for wildlife has a range of reasons. The following are some of the reasons: Wildlife sanctuaries are established to protect endangered species. Transferring the animals from their natural habitat at all times is very risky, and it is thus beneficial to protect them in the environment. The endangered species are especially managed in wildlife sanctuaries. If they reproduce and grow in numbers, though under protection, few specimens in conservation parks for breeding can be kept for their survival. Biological practises and studies are permitted in the wildlife sanctuaries in order to learn about species. Take a few sanctuaries and rehabilitate them for fitness, before releasing them into the wild. The endangered species are protected from human beings and predators by wildlife sanctuaries. Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Uttar Pradesh located near Kurukshetra University in Kurukshetra district in the Indian state of Haryana, it is also known as Seonthi Reserve Forest.
