Abstract

Biosphere reserves are generally conceived of as an important part of the current global conservation strategy. Yet how does a particular region receive such a designation and such protection? How does scientific knowledge and the interests and desires of specific groups affect these designations? In what ways do the main actors involved in these processes exercise power in order to shape the policies and protocols that govern biosphere reserves?
