Reserva de la Biosfera Bosawás
Reserva de la Biosfera Bosawás, Nature reserve in northern Nicaragua
The Bosawás Biosphere Reserve extends over 2 million hectares of tropical rainforest, containing thousands of plant species and more than 200,000 insect species.
The reserve gained official protection status in 1991 through Executive Decree 44-91 and received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in 1997.
Indigenous Miskito and Mayangna communities maintain traditional practices within the reserve, managing natural resources through ancestral knowledge systems.
Visitors can explore the reserve through guided tours that follow established trails, offering opportunities to observe diverse wildlife including jaguars and harpy eagles.
The forest generates 26 million tons of oxygen annually, reaching as far as Europe and North America through atmospheric circulation patterns.
