Declared in 1988 and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2004, it protects the northern, Tibetan side of Everest, known in Tibetan and Chinese as Qomolangma, which translates roughly as "mother goddess of the universe" — a name that reflects the mountain's deep spiritual significance in Tibetan Buddhism, quite unlike the largely sporting approach usually taken from the Nepalese side.
