They do not roam anywhere anymore. We effectively killed the species. There are some animals which we call "buffalo" which we created by taking the last of the buffalo and breeding them with cattle. This new species is the closest thing we have to the original buffalo, but they do not roam. They are mostly 'farmed' in limited space areas for meat. Some are kept in large parks, but their movement is not even close to the original 'roaming' their ancestors used to do.

What are differences between wildlife sanctuaries and national parks?
The difference is one of designation. Wildlife sanctuaries are the most generic of the terms listed in the question. Wildlife sanctuaries may be public or private, and managed by any level of government or private entity. National Parks are managed by federal governments. They often preserve natural settings, but also cultural and historically significant sites. Biosphere Reserve is a designation extended by the United Nations Environmental, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to recognize the significance of an intact ecosystem. This status helps protect places in poor countries that cannot afford to take care of such places, and offers leverage in protecting national parks from international threats (such as pollution).
