The Biosphere Reserves
Thanks to this recognition, Bosques de Neblina – Selva Central Biosphere Reserve joins the National Network of Biosphere Reserves of Peru made up of Huascaran (1977), Manu (1977-2017), Northeastern Amotapes-Manglares (1977-2016), Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha (2010), and Gran Pajaten (2016), which make up more than 9 million hectares of the national territory.
As a biosphere reserve, this space promotes a successful and healthy balance between human beings and nature, as it allows citizens to understand one of the most important issues facing the world today: reconciling the conservation of natural resources with their sustainable use.
The consolidation of this harmonious relationship is based on the valuable contribution of this and all the biosphere reserves in Peru and the rest of the world, for the conservation of biodiversity, food security, as well as the supply of medicines and raw materials, having as main beneficiaries the populations based within its scope.
Likewise, it promotes a comprehensive management of the territory in a participatory manner, including all local actors. This represents an opportunity to establish a space for dialogue, consensus, as well as permanent articulation to establish joint actions for conservation and sustainable development.
