Reserva de la Biosfera Bosawás

San José de Bocay, Nicaragua

The Bosawás Biosphere Reserve is a tropical rainforest in Nicaragua designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1997. At approximately 20,000 km2 (2 million hectares) in size, the reserve (i.e. nucleus plus buffer zone) comprises about 15% of the nation's total land area. It is the second largest tropical rainforest in the Western Hemisphere, after the Amazon rainforest. Bosawás is largely unexplored, and is extremely rich in biodiversity.
