Proposals for improved mechanisms to developed the biosphere reserve system as an integrated network

This paper explains the need for a more coherent international system to guide countries in their proposals for the Biosphere Reserve programme, drawing on the experience of the Council of Europe in establishing the European Network of Biogenetic Reserves. Under these arrangements proposals are drawn up for each habitat type to enable member governments to offer biotopes that will contribute to an interrelated network for Europe, and to identify those biotopes which need further protection in order to secure a comprehensive network to reflect the European range of natural variation of habitat types. Suggestions are made whereby this experience can be applied to the development of the world network of Biosphere Reserves. A role is suggested or IUCN's Commission on National Parks and Protected Areas.
