Biogenetic Reserve (Scotland)

Biogenetic reserves act as 'living laboratories' and are representative examples of various types of natural environment in Europe. They can consist of natural or semi-natural habitats and their selection is based on their value for nature conservation and protected status based on four criteria: 'typical', 'unique', 'rare' and/or 'endangered' which can be applied to habitats or species. The protected status must be adequate to ensure the conservation or management of the sites in the long term in accordance with fixed objectives.

生物遗传保护区作为“活生生的实验室”，是欧洲各类自然环境的有代表性的实例。它们可由自然或半自然栖息地构成，其选取基于对自然保护的价值以及基于四个标准的保护状态：‘典型性’、‘独特性’、‘稀有性’及/或‘濒危性’，这些标准可应用于栖息地或物种。保护状态必须充分，以确保长期内按照既定目标对场所进行保护或管理。
