This plan gets its name from the alpujarreñan town of Bubión (Granada), in the Sierra evada Biosphere Reser\"e. hecause it was here that Spanish RESERVA technicians met in April of 199'"+ in orcler to prepare it.

The Bubión Plan has taken shape in the form of five basic studies, which are pre sented in three technical repons ancl a \"ariety of material for dissemination and exhi bits. The Spanish Commiuee of the MaB program has m·erseen the coordination of team work since its onset, seeking out suppon from public and prívate entities to meet re source clemancls, requesting technical cooperation from ~everal people ancl establis hing the different work teams.

Impresión: Vía Gráfica, S.A. Printed in Spain PRESENTATION This report is one of the studies carried out by the Spanish Network of Biosphere Reserves in order to take an in-depth look at the work underta ken to date in the Biosphere Reserves in Spain. With this aim, the report describes and analyzes the present status of the Network in terms of the objectives laid out in the Action Plan for Biosphere Reserves. This Action Plan, created in 1984, is expected to be modified at the upcoming Inter national Conference on Biosphere Reserves in Seville and therefore this was considered an opportune moment to review the results of the past ten years. This report is the second with a similar objective- the first was publi shed under the title "The State of the Biosphere Reserves-1990"-. It repre sents a second step in the monitoring of the dynamic and continuous de velopment of each of the biosphere reserves in Spain and of the network as a whole. © Del documento, los autores.
