The Ipassa Makokou Biosphere reserve is situated in Gabon and covers 150.00 km².
 Situated along the banks of the Ivindo River, Ipassa-Makokou Biosphere Reserve represents an example of the dense tropical rainforest of the Congo-Guinean phytogeographic region.
 The biosphere reserve is Gabon’s only area where no forest exploitation takes place thus the core area is in a relatively pristine state.
 Within the 15,000 hectares of the biosphere reserve, more than 2,000 plant species and 600 species of mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians and birds have been recorded.
 Among the most threatened plant species are Ardisia belingensis and Rhaptopetalum belingensis.
The Jornada Biosphere Reserve (established 1976) is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in southern New Mexico.
 It is one of three biosphere reserves representing the Chihuahuan Desert (along with Big Bend Biosphere Reserve and National Park in western Texas and Mapimí Biosphere Reserve in Mexico).
 The area extends from the crest of the San Andres Mountains, which are dominated by shrub woodlands, to the Jornada Plains characterized by semi-desert grasslands.
Mantaritza Biosphere Reserve (Bulgarian: Биосферен резерват "Мантарица" ) is situated to the north of Golyama Syutka Peak in the Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria, and covers an area of 1319,9 hectares.
 The reserve was established in 1968 to protect the old coniferous forests and the biotopes of the Western capercaillie (Tetrao urogalus).
 The area was declared as biosphere reserve in 1977.
 It represents century-old forests of pure and mixed stands of Norway spruce "(Picea abies)", European birch "(Fagus sylvatica)" and European silver fir "(Abies alba)".
 The reserve is situated in the Bulgarian Floristic sub-region of West Rhodope within the Central European mountain biotic province.
 The varied fauna includes brown bear "(Ursus arctos)" , red deer "(Cervus elaphus)", roe deer "(Capreolus capreolus)", wild boar (Sus scrofa), pine marten "(Martes martes)", European badger "(Meles meles"), hazel grouse "(Bonasa bonasia)", black woodpecker "(Dryocopus martius)" and European crested tit "(Parus cristatus)".
The Mapimí Biosphere Reserve (Spanish: "Reserva de la Biósfera de Mapimí" ) (established 1977) is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve located in the state of Durango in northern Mexico.
 It is one of three biosphere reserves representing the Chihuahuan Desert (along with Big Bend Biosphere Reserve and National Park in western Texas and Jornada Biosphere Reserve in New Mexico).
 The 342,388 ha reserve is situated between the Neotropical and Neartic biogeographical regions, in the Bolsón de Mapimí 1,150 m above sea level.
 It contains three core areas in the "Sierra de la Campana", the "Laguna de las Palomas", a salt lagoon, and a desert habitat called "Dunas de la Soledad".
 It comprises fragile warm desert and semi-desert ecosystems and rich, highly adapted but vulnerable plant systems, mainly xerophytic matorral scrub, and animal species such as the puma ("Puma concolor"), mule deer ("Odocoileus hemionus"), sandhill crane ("Grus canadensis") and the kit fox or "zorrita del desiert" ("Vulpes macrotis") along with scrub and desert grasslands.
Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve (RMBR) is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1986 as part of its Man and the Biosphere Programme.
 The RMBR, which encompasses Riding Mountain National Park and twelve surrounding municipalities in the province of Manitoba, is one of 16 Biosphere Reserves in Canada.
 Ecologically sensitive ecosystems include the grasslands, deciduous forest and boreal forest.
 Although grasslands occupy only 7,400 of the total 1,331,800 hectares, they are considered of national importance since they exist as discrete units and the rare climax rough fescue community represents the eastern extent of its range.
 The Biosphere Reserve extends the protection of these ecosystems outside of park boundaries.
 Municipalities in the Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve include Clanwilliam – Erickson, Dauphin, Gilbert Plains, Grandview, Harrison Park, Lakeshore, McCreary, Rosedale, St. Rose, Riding Mountain West, Rossburn, and Yellowhead.
 First Nations in the Biosphere Reserve include Rolling River First Nation, Keeseekoowenin First Nation, Waywayseecappo First Nation, and Tootinaowaziibeeng First Nation.
 Asessippi Provincial Park and Duck Mountain Provincial Forest also border the Biosphere Reserve.
The Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve is located in the Western Cape Province of South Africa approximately 40 km east of Cape Town.
 The Biosphere Reserve extends from the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve in the south, northwards along the Cape Fold Belt Mountain Chain and the adjoining valleys constituting the Cape Winelands.
 The Biosphere Reserve incorporates key portions of the registered Cape Floral Region Protected Areas World Heritage Site.
 The Reserve was designated in 2007.
Noosa Biosphere Reserve is an internationally protected area covering the region of Noosa in Queensland, Australia.
 It is formally recognised as a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and Man and the Biosphere (MAB) program for its highly diverse ecosystem over a relatively small space.
 It was the first Biosphere Reserve for the state of Queensland, established in September 2007.
 The reserve is bound by the former Noosa Shire Council boundaries, extending offshore by 3 km , covering 150000 ha in total.
 It is governed by Noosa Biosphere Limited (NBL), a not-for-profit company, which mainly consists of members from the local community who fulfil roles in the governance board, sector boards, and partnerships.
 Community plays a significant role in the implementation of the Biosphere Reserve guidelines.
An urban biosphere reserve is an attempt to apply the biosphere reserve concept to urban areas by the MAB Programme of UNESCO.
 Through urban planning and ecosystem management, an urban biosphere reserve is expected to support sustainable development and conservation.
 Brighton and Hove is bidding to become the world's first urban biosphere reserve.
The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (Cabo de Hornos Biosphere Reserve) is located in the extreme south of Chile and comprises marine areas, islands, fjords, channels, forests and moorland.
 It covers an area of approximately 49000 km2 .
 All biosphere reserves include core zones (no significant infrastructure development), buffer zones (light development) and transition zones (more traditional development under a sustainable rubric).
 In the case of Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, the core zone is constituted of Alberto de Agostini National Park and Cabo de Hornos National Park, which are strictly protected under Chilean law and under the biosphere reserve status cannot have infrastructure for lodging.
The brown bear ("Ursus arctos") is a large bear with the widest distribution of any living ursid.
 The species is distributed across much of northern Eurasia and North America.
 It is one of the two largest terrestrial carnivorans alive today, rivaled in body size only by its close cousin, the polar bear ("Ursus maritimus"), which is much less variable in size and averages larger due to this.
 There are several recognized subspecies, many of which are quite well-known within their native ranges, found in the brown bear species.

Question: Which large terrestrial carnivoran can be found in the Mantaritza Biosphere Reserve?
Answer: brown bear
