Synopsis
Biosphere reserves are sites recognized under UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme which innovate and demonstrate approaches to conservation and sustainable development. They are of course under national sovereign jurisdiction, yet share their experience and ideas nationally, regionally and internationally within the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Featuring the Canadian Biospheres many questions will be asked and answered about what makes a world reserve. How Atmospheric pollution, Geology and geomorphology, Soil utilization and Aquatic ecosystems will be affected? How can humankind look upon the biosphere from a very long-range perspective? What does sustainability mean in the context of a thousand years into the future? What will conservation (or lack thereof) of biological diversity mean in the long term? For the first time in 2006 emphasis on the thousand-year future is being addressed. A world wide issue with world wide repercussions
