Framework Management Plan

Basis for the Rhön biosphere reserve is the "Framework management plan". It reflects the visions and goals for the RHÖN biosphere reserve and points out the actions to be taken. It was elaborated from 1991 - 1994 beyond administrative boundaries of the three federal "Länder", together with the districts, municipalities, government institutions and eNGOs in the region. The "Framework management plan" is not legally binding, however the idea is, that the visions and goals be step by step imbedded in all levels of planification (regional planning, town and country planning, protected area management planning etc.). The revision of the "Framework management plan" will start in 2005.
