Descripción: UNESCO, MAB Biosphere Reserves Directory.
«The Central Amazon Biosphere Reserve is located in a vast region influenced by the Negro and Solimoes Rivers tributaries of the Amazon River, and in the Amazon Plains-Guyana Shield transition area. It is representative of the largest forest in the world and is made up of vast protected areas as well as smaller units that are important as ecological corridors for maintaining the genetic flow of species between these different units. One of the main functions of the Biosphere Reserve will be the integration of these areas under different administrative institutions, allowing co-operation to meet common conservation objectives.»
