==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''nature reserve''' is an area of land which has been chosen to be free of negative [[human]] interference.
===About Nature Reserves===
: '''Nature reserves''' are assigned to protect [[biodiversity]] which is threatened by [[human]] actions.
: '''Nature reserves''' usually do not allow the building of houses, factories, dams or other structures which may affect the natural [[habitat]] of a [[community]] of [[organism]]s.
: Some '''nature reserves''' are left completely alone by [[human]]s but other '''nature reserves''' require the input of [[human]]s to either protect [[population]]s which may be under threat from [[poaching]] or maintain the [[community]] by killing [[organism]]s considered to be pests.
: Some areas have lost their [[Apex Predator|apex predators]] which means some [[population]]s can grow too large. In these cases [[human]]s may [[cull]] the [[animal]]s to reduce the [[population]] preventing them from damaging the [[ecosystem]].
