Biosphere reserve nominat
The same biosphere nomination:
La presenza dell’uomo (che ha favorito una biodiversità funzionale alla sua sopravvivenza e allo sviluppo socio-economico) e la presenza di numerose specie endemiche legate alla peculiarità climatica dell’area (che, negli ultimi decenni, a seguito del progressivo abbandono di queste aree, stanno vivendo una resilienza) convivono in un territorio che si vuole tutelare e studiare, ***in quanto portatore di ulteriore diversità genetica e di paesaggio.
...coexist in an area that needs to be protected and studied ***as it holds additional genetic diversity and landscape***
I'm not sure about this part - any ideas? Thank you!

Genetic diversity

is a standard term a variation on biodiversity. This guy has extended it to "landscape". "portatore" is a bit of a problem, I reduced it to simply "place" in the absence of another word which sounds natural unlike "bearer" "bringer" "container" etc which don't work.

because of its genetic and landscape diversity
I don't think "further" or "greater" work as translations for "ulteriore", because that immediately raises the question: further/greater than what? Presumably the implication is "more than we currently know".

James (Jim) Davis
: Further in the sense of we have some already and here we have more. However, it further doesn't work in the English, then "ulteriore" is just as enigmatic in the italian.

as host and possible donor of further genetic and landscape diversity
I do like Jim's suggestion, but I feel the "portatore" bit should be given more emphasis. Forgive my rather flat creativity profile today, I simply expanded the meaning of "portatore" into simpler EN words.
Discussion
"Additionally because (etc.)". This is what my Italian ear elicits in my mind.
