A Biosphere Reserve is a designated area that aims to promote sustainable development while conserving biodiversity. These reserves are part of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, which encourages research, education, and the preservation of ecosystems. They serve as living laboratories for scientists and communities to study the interactions between humans and nature. Biosphere Reserves typically consist of three zones: a core area for strict protection, a buffer zone for activities that support conservation, and a transition area where sustainable practices are encouraged. This structure helps balance ecological health with the needs of local communities, fostering a harmonious relationship between people and the environment.
