The biosphere reserve concept tackles one of the most important questions which faces the world today:

Biosphere reserves are areas which extend over terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems or a combination of it and which are internationally recognised by the UNESCO-Man and Biosphere (MAB) programme.
