PreSeville (1976 to 1995) and post-Seville (1996 to 2018) phases of BR, there exists both success and fewer success stories globally and in Africa. The first phase lays its philosophy on strict environmental protection, i.e. strict BR to serve science while the second delimited along with sustainable resource uses principles, therefore, can be defined as Biosphere landscape management. The notion of converting the concept's implications into reality at international, national and local scales raises a number of challenges to arise from three main functional factors leads to failure and or success of the biosphere landscape i.e., BR designation, participation,and delivery.
