	How U.N. Biosphere Reserves expand
		The agenda for U.N. Biosphere Reserves is set in UNESCO documents known as the Statutory Framework, and the Seville Strategy, both of which were developed with "consultation" from the IUCN.
		Biosphere Reserve proponents contend that this would be throwing out the baby with the bathwater, since, the proponents claim, there are many benefits provided by the Biosphere Reserves.
		Biosphere Reserves will be among the hottest topics discussed at a national conference this summer.

		Biosphere reserves are multipurpose areas that are nominated by the national committee of the Man and the Biosphere Program (MAB) and designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to serve as demonstration areas for cooperation in building harmonious relationships between human activities and the conservation of ecosystems and biological diversity.
		Three biosphere reserves (BR) in the transborder region along the Continental Divide, often referred to as the Crown of the Continent, are the 410,202 hectare Glacier National Park and the 3,010 hectare Coram Experimental Forest in northwestern Montana and the 52,597 hectare Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada.
		According to UNESCO classification, the biosphere reserves are in the Sonoran biogeographical province of the warm desert/semidesert biome.

		America's 47 Biosphere Reserves are only a part of a network of 328 reserves in 82 countries around the world.
		Page 993 of this massive document clearly states that "The Wildlands Project" is "central" to the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
		Today, the U.S. State Department publishes maps that show the reserve, including two types of buffer zones, to stretch from near Birmingham, Ala., to Roanoke, Va. Continual expansion of the core wilderness areas, as well as expansion of the buffer zones, is the published policy of the U.N. Biosphere Reserve Program.

		However, the intended function of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves has evolved significantly since its origins, and most of the currently designated reserves in the U.S. are not in compliance with the program.
		Without knowledge of the biosphere reserve, it becomes impossible for reserve authorities to work with local populations in the management of the biosphere reserve and the sustainable development aspects which UNESCO deems as important as the conservation aspects of the reserve.
		Unlike the UK, the United States is not a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and has no international obligations under Article 8 of the Convention to establish a system of protected areas.

	WorldNetDaily: Here comes the U.N. – again!
		In the United States, 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves were designated without the approval of Congress or of any state legislature.
		While UNESCO continues to expand the global network of 440 reserves in 97 countries, the last three areas to be designated in the U.S. were blocked by local opposition.
		The ultimate goal of the Man and the Biosphere Program is described in the U.N.'s Global Biodiversity Assessment (page 993), which cites the Wildlands Project as "central" to the transformation of "at least half" of the United States into interconnected core wilderness areas so wildlife can move, uninterrupted by humans, from Mexico to Canada.

	47 in the United States - U.N. Biosphere Reserves
		Each of these Biosphere Reserves, and new reserves yet to be designated, are to be connected by corridors of wilderness, surrounded by "buffer zones," which are surrounded by "zones of cooperation." People are to be moved into "sustainable communities."
		The principle of private property ownership was challenged in the United States during the 1930's enthusiasm for socialism, through organizations such as the Wilderness Society, whose founder, Robert Marshall, advocated "nationalization" of the nation's forests.
		This policy is stated in the final report of the first U.N. Conference on Human Settlements (HABITAT I), held in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1976.

		Biosphere reserves are areas composed of different land and water uses where the validity of this concept is tested, refined, demonstrated, and implemented.
		Biosphere reserves have been called "landscapes for learning" and "laboratory regions of sustainable development" because of their role in associating research and education with conservation and development issues.

		Yet, each of the 47 Biosphere Reserves in America was nominated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, with no review, oversight, or involvement of Congress.
		The United Nations derives its authority to affect land management decisions within the United States through the Executive Branch's commitment to meet these "criteria" and "conditions" which are established by the United Nations, not by the Congress of the United States.
		America has prospered in the belief and practice that biodiversity should be controlled by its owner without interference by government unless the owner's use demonstrably infringes upon the rights or property of another person.

		A Biosphere Reserve is an area that is set aside specifically for conservation and scientific study which, like a World Heritage Site, the United States promises to manage in accordance with U.N. standards.
		What is especially disturbing about U.N. World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve designations are that they can be made by the executive branch unilaterally without congressional approval.
		For the past several decades, the United States has refused to contribute to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the institutional sponsor of the World Heritage Committee, because the agency has been financially mismanaged and mired in political controversy.
