Periodic Reviews
© UNESCO/F. Kudo
The periodic review is an important event in the life of a biosphere reserve. It enables a review, every ten years, of the functioning, zoning, scale and the implications for the populations in the reserve. It also makes it possible to evaluate the evolution of the various functions of the reserve –be it conservation, research, education or sustainable development.
