 Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve - Frequently Asked Questions
In general, a biosphere reserve must be large enough to conserve most of the biodiversity found in the core areas and buffer zones, and provide sufficient scope to carry out the other functions of a biosphere reserve.
Biosphere reserves strive to conserve the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms which make up our living "biosphere" and maintain healthy natural systems while, at the same time, meeting the material needs and aspirations of an increasing number of people.
Biosphere reserves are organized into three interrelated zones or areas: the core area, the buffer area and an area of cooperation (also known as a transition zone).

The UNESCO biosphere reserve concept focuses on the idea that experiments in sustainable living are a necessary prerequisite for human adaptation to natural limits of growth, particularly in regions where local economies are dependent upon the development of natural resources.
Since biosphere reserves are primarily concerned with the development of sustainable economies associated with the use of natural resources and conservation of ecological values (UNESCO 1984), the inclusion of an adequate amount of protected space is essential.
Since a biosphere reserve should incorporate representative landscape features typical of the biogeographical province in which it is located, it is logical to establish a biosphere reserve in Atlantic Canada that incorporates both terrestrial and marine elements, given this region's strong ecological, economic, and socio-cultural attachments to the ocean.

Biosphere reserves are chosen on the strength of their ability to reconcile the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of biological resources.
Biosphere reserves are nominated by Member States after a process of consultation and co-ordination with government agencies, local communities, NGOs and private interests with a stake in the areas concerned.
The advantages enjoyed by sites designated as biosphere reserves include: official United Nations recognition of local and national efforts to promote conservation and sustainable development; a “label of excellence” which is helpful in securing additional funding; membership in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves which facilitates exchanges of experience and research results.
