Can someone tell me how the UN did this?

The Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve, or SAMAB, began in the 1970s when UNESCO recognized the 571,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a site worthy to be included in its growing global network of Biosphere Reserves. Neither Congress, nor the legislatures of either affected state, reviewed, debated or approved the designation.

Today, SAMAB encompasses nearly 37 million acres. Still, neither Congress, nor any of the affected states' legislatures have reviewed, debated or approved the designation or the expansion.

Neither Congress, nor any state legislature has ever voted to designate these areas as U.N. Biosphere Reserves, nor is there any evidence that any elected body of "public authorities" has ever voted to be a part of such designations.

Nevermind. It was the 1974 Nixon-Brezhnev (US-USSR) Summit Agreement on Biosphere Reserves.

More proof both political parties have sold us out for years.

Take a look at the nature conservancy. And their conservation easements.

In Perpetuity

Most easements "run with the land," remaining with the property even if it is sold or passed on to heirs, thus binding in perpetuity the original owner and all subsequent owners to the easement's restrictions. The organization or agency that holds the conservation easement is responsible for making sure the easement's terms are followed into the future. They must be willing to monitor and defend the easement legally in the event it is ever violated.

Often landowners have no intention of subdividing their properties for development. But a conservation easement is still attractive to them because it reaches beyond their own lifetimes to ensure the conservation purposes are met forever. An easement binds heirs and other future landowners to comply with the easement's terms, such as prohibiting the building of roads or multiple housing units. It can give peace-of-mind to current landowners worried about the future of a beloved property, whether forest or ranch, stretch of river or family farm.

The designation has no legal significance.
