A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a designated area that promotes sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity. These reserves are part of the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, which aims to balance ecological health with human needs. They serve as sites for research, education, and the preservation of ecosystems. Each biosphere reserve consists of three zones: a core area for strict protection, a buffer zone for activities that support conservation, and a transition area for sustainable resource management. This structure helps to foster collaboration between local communities and conservation efforts, ensuring that both nature and people thrive together.
