What was sanctuary neglect?

Sanctuary neglect refers to a practice in which certain areas designated as sanctuaries or protected spaces are neglected in terms of management and maintenance. This can lead to the deterioration of habitats, loss of biodiversity, and failure to meet conservation goals. Often, it occurs due to a lack of resources, oversight, or effective policies, ultimately undermining the purpose of these sanctuaries. As a result, the intended benefits of protection can be compromised, impacting both wildlife and ecosystems.
