BIOSPHERE RESERVES PROJECT

Biodiversity Conservation Centre offers biosphere reserves of Russia and neighbouring countries co-operation in the framework of a joint initiative of the BCC web-project “Russian PAs” and UNESCO Russian-language portal (M&B Program — Man and Biosphere).

The goal of the project is to raise the public awareness about biosphere reserves, their management, features, goals, objectives and problems.

We will be thankful for materials which could be used at the site of the web-project: pictures, general information on PAs, and media products (audio and visual materials). Unfortunately, today for many biosphere reserves we are lacking cartographic data and facts on their buffer zones and collaboration (transition) areas. Sometimes, we have no data at all. We guarantee correct citing of the materials received as well as the observation of the author’s copyright on these materials.

Web-project “Russian PAs” is one of the most dynamically developing Internet resources dedicated to Russian PAs. Over 900 people visit this new site every day. Today, the site provides brief descriptions of all Russian federal-level PAs. Detailed information is available for most PAs. For biosphere PAs that do not have own web sites yet, this is the only (and convenient) opportunity to present their materials systematically.
