Objectives for managing biosphere reserves: the Peruvian example
Information is presented about the conception and evolution of the systems of management of the natural areas of Peru and their relation with biosphere reserves. The process for the establishment of protected areas including biosphere reserves, which includes the determination of objectives, is briefly described. The participation of local and regional organizations promoting socio-economic development in the management of biosphere reserves, is shown to be particularly important. There is some difficulty caused by the word "reserve", which has a connotation of protectionism and of setting apart in relation to projects of integrated rural development. Finally, providing information and education to the local and regional authorities about the concept and practice of biosphere reserves is proposed.
