The biosphere reserve Neusiedler See was founded in 1977, three years after the concept of
biosphere reserves was initiated by a Task Force of UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MaB)
Programme in 1974. Currently it covers only the lake basin in particular the reed belt and the lake
itself. This rather restrictive designation is excluding large tracts of land with smaller remnants of
natural and semi-natural habitats interspersed with the surrounding agricultural landscape matrix.
The small-scale cultural landscape types situated at the western lakeshore are completely excluded.
This delineation is reflecting the ideas of the MaB-programme in the concept of the 1970s. But it is
not congruent with the criteria of the Seville Strategy as outlined in 1995. Many other biosphere
reserves in the world encounter similar problems, so that the MaB committee decided to withdraw
the label of biosphere reserve by 2013 if a re-implementation will not have been applied for.
