Biosphere reserves are the sites in an ecosystem where the plants and animals in the ecosystem are protected for biodiversity conservation.
They are divide into three zones,
1. Core zone - This area is undisturbed and legally protected. No human activity is allowed here.
2. Buffer zone - It surrounds the core area. Limited human activity is allowed here for research and education.
3. Transition zone - It is the outermost or peripheral part of the reserve where reserve management and local people cooperate for activities like cropping, recreation etc. without disturbing the ecoystem.
