The shapefiles we have for the site do not contain the core area of the biosphere reserve. We ask you to please submit updated shapefiles that contain all three zones by 23 June 2025. You will find attached the shapefiles we have on record along with our technical specifications for spatial data. Once validated by you, the shapefiles will be added to the MAB database and used by the Secretariat for monitoring and analysis of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves as we implement the MAB-ICC decision to enable open access to related documents, data, information, and multimedia materials. We thank you in advance for your support. Should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, The Secretariat Map in 2016 periodic review: Shapefiles on record:
