UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves - UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves

UNESCO Biosphere Reserves as of 2009. Transboundary parks add to the number of all countries they're located in

As of 2014 the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves is made up of 631 reserves in 119 countries of which 14 are transboundary.

Understand

UNESCO describes the reserves as follows:

Biosphere reserves are areas comprising terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems. Each reserve promotes solutions reconciling the conservation of biodiversity with its sustainable use.

Biosphere reserves are ‘Science for Sustainability support sites’ – special places for testing interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and managing changes and interactions between social and ecological systems, including conflict prevention and management of biodiversity.
