Explanation:
A Biosphere Reserve is a unique and representative ecosystem of terrestrial and coastal areas which are internationally recognized, within the framework of UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme. The biosphere reserve should fulfill the following three objectives:
In-situ conservation of biodiversity of natural and semi-natural ecosystems and landscapes
Contribution to sustainable economic development of the human population living within and around the Biosphere Reserve.
Provide facilities for long term ecological studies, environmental education and training and research and monitoring.
In order to fulfill the above objectives, the Biosphere Reserves are classified into zones like the core area, buffer area. The system of functions is prescribed for each zone.One or more core zones: Securely protected sites for conserving biological diversity, monitoring minimally distributed ecosystems and undertaking non-destructive research and other low-impact uses (such as eco-tourism and education)
A well defined buffer zone(s): Usually surrounds or adjoins the core zones and is used for cooperative activities compatible with sound ecological practices, including environmental education, recreation and applied and basic research.
A flexible transition area or area of cooperation: May contain a variety of agricultural activities, settlements and other uses and in which local communities, management agencies, scientists, non-governmental organizations, cultural groups, economic interests and other stakeholders work together to manage and sustainably develop the area’s resources.
