Solution
Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
Some activities, including timber harvesting and collecting minor forest products, may be permitted in a sanctuary; private rights may also be allowed if they do not harm wildlife. A sanctuary primarily protects fauna, and cultivation is not the defining permitted activity stated here.
