On wilderness, national parks, and biosphere

Biosphere reserves are distinguished from other managed areas by the coordinated pursuit of conservation, logistic, and development roles within the framework of a global information-sharing network. By encouraging scientific, educational, and demonstration activities within a particular bioregion, biosphere reserves represent "landscapes for learning"--for developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for rational, culturally appropriate human uses which maintain ecosystem processes and biological diversity while fostering social cohesiveness and pride in indigenous traditions. Wilderness, national parks, and biosphere reserves are discussed as complementary, mutually reinforcing concepts. The potential of biosphere reserves to emerge as a symbolic focus for global efforts to demonstrate harmony between Man and Nature is discussed.
