BRs in the Czech Republic
The first biosphere reserves started to emerge in the former Czechoslovakia in the 1970's. There are six BRs in the Czech Republic today, which of five are managed by governmental nature conservation authorities and share the total area with some of the specially protected area category (Protected Landscape Area - PLA, National Park -NP) and only one is managed by stakeholder and community based NGO and its area is not identical to any protected nature conservation area.
