Abstract: This paper offers a critical examination on an aspect of social reality that needs to be thoroughly reflected upon and analyzed. The so-called Biosphere Reserves are mechanisms of appropriation for the domination of territories that before being named as such were identified exclusively on the basis of their definition as areas under state control. This article seeks to address these territorialities from a standpoint that reinforces its geopolitical rather than environmental definition ―a perspective that will ultimately reveal a new form of appropriation of nature―.
