UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves

The worldwide network of biosphere reserves under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme.

Biosphere reserves are designated under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme as learning places for sustainable development. Together they form the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, which shares research, practice and monitoring. Each biosphere reserve is reviewed periodically against the Programme's criteria.
