Important Biosphere Reserves Of India

A Biosphere Reserve is a special ecosystem or a specialized environment with a flora and fauna that require protection and nurturing that’s why UNESCO  identifies and designate  parts of natural and cultural landscapes extending over large area of terrestrial or coastal/marine ecosystems or a combination into the biosphere reserves. The Indian government has established 18 Biosphere Reserves in India,(categories roughly corresponding to IUCN Category V Protected areas), which protect larger areas of natural habitat (than a National Park or Animal Sanctuary), and often include one or more National Parks or preserves, along with buffer zones that are open to some economic uses. Protection is granted not only to the flora and fauna of the protected region, but also to the human communities who inhabit these regions, and their ways of life. Animals are protected and saved here.
