<speciesfyi-glossary slug="buffer-zone"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
An area surrounding a protected region that provides additional protection by limiting human activities.
Detailed Explanation
Buffer zones allow for sustainable resource use — such as low-intensity farming, ecotourism, or selective logging — while reducing direct human pressure on the core protected area. The zonation model (core, buffer, transition) is fundamental to UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Effective buffer zones require local community involvement; when communities benefit from wildlife tourism or sustainable harvests, they become active conservation partners.
