Question

The zone of biosphere which is used to accommodate resource management strategies, research and educational activities is

• A. Core zone
• B. Transition zone
• C. Buffer zone
• D. Sanctuary

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Buffer zone

The buffer zone might be an area for experimental research, or may involve ways to manage natural vegetation, agricultural land, forests, fisheries or ranchland to enhance overall quality of production while conserving natural processes and biodiversity. This zone may also accommodate education, training, tourism, and recreation facilities. In many biosphere reserves the buffer zone is regarded as an area in which human use is less intensive than what might be found in the transition zone.
