UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a designated area that promotes sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity. These reserves aim to balance ecological health, economic growth, and cultural preservation. They serve as sites for research, education, and monitoring of ecosystems, helping to protect both natural and human environments.
Each biosphere reserve consists of three interconnected zones: a core area for strict protection, a buffer zone for activities that support conservation, and a transition area for sustainable resource management. This framework encourages collaboration among local communities, scientists, and policymakers to foster sustainable practices and protect valuable ecosystems.
