What roles might a biosphere reserve consider for itself as one community organization among many?
This depends very much on the situation and on the interests and expertise of staff and volunteers. Some biosphere reserve groups work in partnership with a number of other organizations to help carry out a range of projects. Others, especially if they have limited resources, tend to “specialize” in a particular niche, such as monitoring, promoting eco-tourism or local agricultural products, non-aligned scientific research and environmental restoration (amonth other things).
