[...] importance de choisir comme repères écologiques des zones centrales représentatives qui soient intactes, représentatives d'une variabilité environnementale et suffisamment grandes pour soutenir les processus écologiques clés. [...] En plus de servir de contrôles aux activités de développement, ces zones jouent un rôle important en tant que références écologiques et nous permettent d’accroître notre connaissance fondamentale de la dynamique naturelle des systèmes et agissent également comme des ancragesd'un système global de zones protégées.
