Biosphere reserve is created to conserve biological diversity and genetic integrity of plants, animals and microorganisms in their totality. Biosphere reserves are undisturbed natural areas for scientific study. Two biosphere reserves are 'Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve' and 'Sunderbans Biosphere Reserve'.

biosphere reserves
The Indian government has established 15 Biosphere Reserves of India, (categories roughly corresponding to IUCN Category V Protected areas), which protect larger areas of natural habitat (than a National Park or Animal Sanctuary), and often include one or more National Parks and/or preserves, along buffer zones that are open to some economic uses. Protection is granted not only to the flora and fauna of the protected region, but also to the human communities who inhabit these regions, and their ways of life.Seven of the fifteen biosphere reserves are a part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, based on the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme list[2].The last three are among the 22 new sites recently added by UNESCO to its World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Their inclusion raises the number of Indian sites on the World list to seven, from a total of 15 Biosphere Reserves across the subcontinent.Recently India has added one more area as bsr namely cold desert of Himachal Pradesh taking the total count to 16.
