History

Cultural practices that roughly equate to the introducing and maintenance of reserved areas for animals date back to antiquity, with King Tissa of Ceylon establishing one of the world's earliest wildlife sanctuaries in the 3rd century BC. Early reservations often had a religious underpinning, such as the 'evil forest' areas of West Africa which were forbidden to humans, who were threatened with spiritual attack if they went there. Sacred areas taboo from human programs to fishing and hunting are asked by many ancient cultures worldwide.

The world's first sophisticated nature reserve was defining in 1821 by the poachers. He tried to encourage bird life by planting trees and hollowing out trunks for owls to nest in.

Waterton invented artificial nest boxes to business starlings, western jackdaws and sand martins; and unsuccessfully attempted to introduce little owls from Italy. Waterton makes local people access to his reserve and was indicated by David Attenborough as "one of the first people anywhere to recognise not only that the natural world was of great importance but that it needed protection as humanity provided more and more demands on it".

Drachenfels Siebengebirge was protected as the number one state-designated nature reserve in modern-day Germany; the site was bought by the Prussian State in 1836 to protect it from further quarrying.

The first major nature reserve was Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States, followed by the Royal National Park near Sydney, Australia and the Barguzin Nature Reserve of Imperial Russia, the first of zapovedniks fix by a federal government entirely for the scientific discussing of nature.
