Biosphere reserves are sites established by countries to
promote sustainable development based on local community efforts and sound
science. They are areas of terrestrial
and coastal ecosystems promoting solutions to reconcile conservation of
biological and cultural diversity and economic and social development through
partnerships between people and nature.
They are recognized under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere
(MAB) Programme. The first biosphere reserve of the world was established in
1979, since then the network of
biosphere reserves has increased to 580 in 114 countries across the
world (MAB, 2012). Hence option A is correct.
