Abstract

This article examines, from a legal standpoint, the importance of the definition, diagnosis and establishment of criteria for the use, occupation and monitoring of buffer zones for conservation units of integral protection. The management of conservation units should take into account the areas surrounding the unit, so as to avoid the encroachment of external anthropic activities on to the natural ecosystems within the unit boundaries.
