 India’s Cold Desert Biosphere Reserve enters UNESCO’s Global Network

At the 37th ICC-MAB session, the Cold Desert Biosphere Reserve in Himachal Pradesh was added to UNESCO’s World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR).  This makes it India’s first high-altitude cold desert site to gain global recognition, joining 12 other Indian reserves already in the network.

Biosphere Reserves (BRs)

Biosphere Reserves 

These are an international designation by UNESCO for the representative parts of natural and cultural landscapes extending over large area of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems. 

In 1968, UNESCO organised the Biosphere Conference that saw the beginning of the concept of a ‘Biosphere Reserve’. The aim of this conference was to reconcile conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources.

This conference resulted in the launching of the UNESCO’s ‘Man and the Biosphere’(MAB) Programme in 1971. It is an intergovernmental scientific programme that aims to establish a scientific basis for the improvement of relationship between people and their environments. 

Functions of Biosphere Reserves 

Biosphere reserves have three inter connected functions: 

Conservation - Protecting cultural diversity and biodiversity, including genetic variation, species and ecosystems. 

Development - Fostering economic and human development that is environmentally and socially sustainable.

Logistic support -  Facilitating demonstration projects, environmental education and sustainable development education and training, research and monitoring ( research and monitoring are also integral to the conservation and development functions). 

    Zones of Biosphere Reserves 

Biosphere Reserves have three interrelated zones that aim to fulfil three complementary and mutually reinforcing functions: 

Core Area - It is a strictly protected ecosystem that contributes to the conservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species and genetic variation.

Buffer Zone - It surrounds or adjoins the core areas, and is used for activities compatible with sound ecological practices that can reinforce scientific research, monitoring, training and education.

Transition Area - It is the part of the reserve where the greatest activity is allowed, fostering economic and human development that is socio- culturally and ecologically sustainable. 

Biosphere Reserves help in reconciling the conservation of biodiversity, the quest for economic and social development and maintenance of associated cultural values. BRs are thus living examples of how human beings and nature can-exist while respecting each other’s need.

They are nominated by national governments and remain under the sovereign jurisdiction of the states where they are located. Their status is internationally recognised. As of March 2020, there are 701 biosphere reserves in 124 countries; including 21 transboundary sites.

Biosphere Reserves are the multipurpose protected areas of terrestrial, marine, and coastal ecosystems for both flora and fauna. Biosphere Reserves is an international designation by UNESCO for representative parts of the natural and cultural landscape, extending over terrestrial or coastal/ marine ecosystems or a combination of both. Biosphere Reserve is an in-situ form of conservation. It came into existence in 1971 as a part of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s ‘Man and Biosphere Program(MAB). Criteria for designation of Biosphere Reserve • Protected area, minimally disturbed, and carry a value of nature conservation. • Core area must be the bio-geographical unit, representing all trophic levels. • Involvement of local communities and use of their knowledge. Zones of Biosphere Reserves Three main zones of Biosphere reserves are as follows... 1. Core Area 2. Buffer zone 3. Transition Zone Zones of Biosphere Reserves Core Area – An entirely secured and protected ecosystem that contributes to the preservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species, and genetic variation. Buffer Zone – An area adjoining the Core area, utilized for training, scientific research, and education. Transition Zone – An area where social activities can be performed to promote sustainable economic and human development.
