This is a Vanity... I'm in search of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere maps that were published between 1999 - 2001. I have the 1997 maps, but they aren't the ones I need. The ones I am looking for have wildlife corridors, Native American reservations, and at least a dozen colors used in the map key. I originally found the map and discussion of the Man and Biosphere program on FR, so I'm coming back here to see if anyone still has it available. Thanks for the help....

This regards a legislative issue in NJ, trying to point out the depth of the backing of the next level of implimentation, click the source link to read more, if you have a few hours to read NJ draft legislation...

What is the issue?

[Carry_Okie]

This USGS site has a long list of current maps that you might find useful in any case. I don't know if they include what you seek.

[JerseyHighlander]

The maps I'm looking for include this one,

but are much larger, and there's at least 3 related maps...

The state of NJ is trying to create a huge wildlife preservation prgram that will eventually eliminate all new development in the Highlands of NJ, to provide water for the urban areas, and rewild a large swath of North Jersey. The state wants towns to comply voluntarily, and towns that don't comply will have their master plans and development plans run by a group of unelected state appointed officials. Environmental groups,the NJ Dept. of Enviro. Protection, Fair housing board, and a large number of state and regional agencies will take control of development (or total restriction of) in the Highlands region. There will be no long term compensation for the towns involved, and with a constantly eroding tax base as more parcels are bought out, a reversion of much of the Highlands to pre-20th century wildlands. That's the short version of the story, I'm sure this will become a lager issue in the weeks ahead. The draft bill is up for vote later this month, I was trying to show some environmentally sensitive Republicans the larger picture, since much of the thin edge of the wedge is already law in NJ, fighting this bill will be a rear guard action, and probably a losing political strategy for most politicians in the state, if they were so inclined to use political capital for they quaint notion of local control of land use.

Trying to put some background info together. Most local politicians are aware of, but not fully immersed in the history of this effort by the UN agencies/ NGOs/ local and regional environmental groups/ universities/state politicians/ national environmental groups in the long term goal of total freeze in development in North Jersey.

Is this it?

The Wildlands Project Comes to Hidalgo County

[JerseyHighlander]

Not exactly what I'm looking for. I found a good enough map for the time being,

The yellow patch in Nortern Jersey will be made into law with this draft bill. It was a series of maps like this... I found a link to someone selling them, I'll try to contact them... Thanks for the help all.
