Question

Conclusion on biosphere​

Answer 1

Answer:

CONCLUSION

Brief justification of the way in which the biosphere reserve fulfills each criterion of article 4:

1. Biosphere reserves should encompass a mosaic of ecological systems representative of major biogeographic regions, including a gradation of human interventions.

The LPBR encompasses one of the richest mosaics of ecological systems associated with erosion deposit sand spit formations in the Laurentian Great Lakes, as well as some of the largest remaining forest tracts in "Carolinian Canada". Gradations in human interventions range from coastal wetlands management with restricted access through to intensive cottage and recreation development in the Long Point complex and Inner Bay area of the biosphere reserve. On the mainland, they range from forest management and restoration to conversion of lands into intensive agriculture.

2. Biosphere reserves should be significant for biological diversity conservation.

The variety of habitats support a rich flora and fauna, including a number of species which are rare in Canada or in Ontario. The biosphere reserve includes a waterfowl staging area and migration stop-over area for land birds which are of continental importance. This has been recognized by its designation as a Ramsar site in 1982, and as a globally significant Important Bird Area by BirdLife International in 1996.

3. Biosphere reserves should provide an opportunity to explore and demonstrate approaches to sustainable development on a regional scale.
