Biosphere reserve: S are special protected areas set

Biosphere reserves are special protected areas set up to conserve biodiversity, maintain habitats, and encourage sustainable use of natural resources. These areas play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, research, education, and the well-being of local communities. Biosphere reserves follow the in-situ biodiversity conservation technique. This post describes the definition, objectives, origin, key facts, structure and functions of the biosphere reserve. Biosphere Reserves are established by countries and recognized under UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme. Their main goal is to promote sustainable development through local community involvement and scientific management. Their status is internationally recognized. Member States can submit sites through the designation process. Biosphere Reserves involve local communities and all interested stakeholders in planning and management.
