Man and the Biosphere Programme. Biosphere Reserves are areas of terrestrial and coastal ecosystems promoting solutions to reconcile the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use. They are internationally recognized, nominated by national governments and remain under sovereign jurisdication of the states where they are located. Biosphere reserves serve in some ways as "living laboratories" for testing out and demonstrating integrated management of land, water and biodiversity.

OBS

Les réserves de biosphère sont des aires portant sur les écosystèms terrestres et côtiers/marins qui visent à promouvoir des solutions pour reconcilier la conservation de la biodiversité avec son utilisation durable. Elles sont reconnues sur le plan international, proposées par les gouvernements nationaux et restent sous la seule souveraineté de l'État sur le territoire duquel elles sont situées. Elles constituent en quelque sorte des laboratoires vivants d'étude et de démonstration de la gestion intégrée des terres, de l'eau et de la biodiversité.
