A model region
The Biosphere Reserves are model regions to promote and demonstrate a balanced relationship between humans and the biosphere.
The Biosphere Reserves are model regions in witch community life between Man and Nature are particularly developed and promoted. They protect the cultural landscape against poor behaviours; in addition they maintain and durably develop a precious habitat for Man and Nature. Biosphere Reserves develop also scientific researches to establish the interaction between nature and society. (Approved by the members of Europarc Deutschland, March 2002)
Every Biosphere Reserve has to carry out three functions:
A conservation function, in the way to maintain biological biodiversity of plants and animals but also of ecosystems and landscapes.
A development function to encouraging users to a sustainable development
A logistic function to develop projects, environmental education, student’s trainings, research and ecological observations.
