论世界遗产地和生物圈保护区的关系

世界遗产地和生物圈保护区的概念都是在联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)主持下制定的,主要目的都在于保护世界的物种多样性和生态系统;彼此之间究竞有何异同,人们或许并不十分清楚,特别是许多生物圈保护区也包括在世界遗产名录中,这就常常造成某种混淆。实际上,两者具有不同的目的、目标、法律依据和管理原则,不应该有所混淆。本文就拟简略地探讨一下这个问题供有关方面参考。

World heritage sites in relation to biosphere reserves

The two concepts of world heritages and Biosphere reserves come under the aegis of UNESCO. Their objectives are mainly to conserve species diversity and ecosystems of the world. What similarities and differences between both whatever it may be perhaps the public and the media are not yet understood, especially some biosphere reserves are also included in the world heritage list, and often leading to some confusion. In fact, world heritage sites and biosphere reserves have fundamentally different purposes, objectives, legal status and management principles and should not therefore be confused. The paper deals with this problem for reference to related aspects.
