Convention on Biological Diversity — This treaty is a plan to set aside half the land area in North America as "Wilderness" and much of the other half as buffer zones and corridors where human use by Americans would be severely restricted. It places huge tracts of U.S. land under federal control, managed according to UN land use policies. There are presently 357 biosphere reserves in 90 countries. Of these, 47 units are in the United States, of which 29 are managed by the National Park Service.
