html From 17 to 21 June, the UNESCO International Coordination Council for the Human and Biosphere Programme was held in Paris. At the June 19 meeting, the World Biosphere Reserve Network expanded again, and 18 protected areas from 12 countries were "officially announced to be included in the Internet". Up to now, the network has included 701 protected areas in 124 countries. The fascinating natural scenery, rich and diverse ecological species, and the harmonious coexistence between people and the environment makes these protected areas present a different beauty. Isle of Wight Biosphere Reserve, UK
Isle of Wight Biosphere Reserve is the seventh tourist destination in the UK to receive this honor. This small island, located in the southern UK, covers an area of more than 9 hectares and has a long coastline of 92 kilometers. Ancient beach huts, needle-shaped Cretaceous rocks and a lighthouse built in the 19th century avatars embellish the island.
It is not surprising that the Isle of Wight was selected as a biosphere reserve. This island has been designated as a natural beauty reserve since 1963. Rare wild animals, such as red squirrels, net butterflies, live harmoniously on this island. The island also cooperates with some ecological protection institutions and universities to promote environmental protection while increasing economic benefits by testing some new environmental monitoring and protection facilities, developing ecological tourism, etc.
Lubangbo Biosphere Reserve, Svadian
is located in the Lubangbo Biosphere Reserve in Svadian in southern Africa, which has also attracted many rare animals and plants to settle down. On this 290,000 hectares of land built together by forests, wetlands and grasslands, there are more than 80 mammals, including endangered species such as white rhino and horned buffalo. Walking along the dirt road through the forest, the lush grass and trees are like natural barriers, shading a piece of shade above the road, and making the small animals appear faintly. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the sound of birds and rustling branches and leaves is a melodious music played naturally.

According to statistics, nearly 40% of butterfly species in Japan live here, 24 of which are endangered.
Because cutting down trees is prohibited, the high and straight peaks are almost covered with lush plants such as larch. In late summer and early autumn, the frontal leaves of some trees gradually turn yellow, and the branches and leaves of light yellow, orange and dark green are intertwined, like a hand-woven tapestries, covered on the mountain. When we reached the junction of the reserve and the city, fruit trees such as persimmons and peaches gradually increased. The fresh fruit fragrance mixed with the fragrance of trees came to our noses, and we felt refreshed and happy.

From a distance, various colors are mixed together, like a color palette that the painter has knocked over, and the boundary between nature and life is gradually blurred here.

The wetland located at the mouth of the Linjin River is a favorite place for birds to overwinter. In the early morning of winter, groups of black-faced spoonbills fly leisurely in the warm red morning light, and the white feathers reflect light spots, making flying herons transform into mythical elves. When the weather is warm, the reserve becomes lively again, and birds such as red-crowned cranes and , eagles dance in the air with the sound of the flowing water. If you stare at the river carefully at this time, you can also find some small bubbles with black dots inside. These small black dots are the "rebels" among the spiders, the water spiders living in the water.

Nord Holland Biosphere Reserve is the first destination in Norway to receive the honor. Here, the margins of nature and man-made world seem to be gradually blurring.

Roztoche Biosphere Reserve, Poland

The forest-covered limestone hills, deep river valleys, and sedimentary mineral deposits make the entire reserve an ecological corridor with important natural and cultural values. Although there are about 160,000 farmers living here, when the farmland is too scattered and it is difficult to use modern machines to cultivate as a whole, many young people choose to move to other places to seek a way out. At present, the ecological zone is trying to use natural scenery and cultural heritage to help the region increase economic benefits and attract young people to return.
