The boundaries of a National Park are defined by legislation. No alteration to the boundaries of a National Park shall be made except on a resolution passed by the Legislature of the State. Biosphere Reserve are representative parts of natural and cultural landscapes extending over a large area of terrestrial or coastal/marine ecosystems. The purpose of the formation of biosphere reserves is to conserve in situ all forms of life along with its support system. The difference between a national park and a sanctuary is that no human activity is allowed inside a national park (except for the ones permitted by the Chief Wildlife warden of the state) while limited activities are permitted within the sanctuary. Each reserve promotes solutions reconciling the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use. Thus only statement 1 and 3are correct.
