N2 - Biosphere Reserves (BR) were introduced into the conservation arena in the late sixties almost concomitantly with the launch of the United Nations' Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB-UNESCO). They were conceived as a "way to a more sustainable future" or "spaces to reconcile people and nature" (UNESCO 2002). They represent the concerns of the United Nations to secure the protection of natural diversity while maintaining the cultural heritage of traditional communities. This concept is intended to be implemented through a network of reserves representative of all ecosystems, and should serve as models of "sustainable societies" and sustainable development (Batisse 1990). The current network includes 529 sites in 105 countries (UNESCO 2002, 2007), six of them located in Brazil.
