UNESCO Biosphere Reserves are special areas designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to promote sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity. These reserves aim to balance the needs of people and nature by integrating ecological, economic, and social goals. They serve as sites for research, education, and monitoring 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 among local communities, scientists, and policymakers in preserving natural habitats and promoting sustainable practices.
