I actually went for "gathering place" in the end, as it was quite neutral and could mean either meeting place or Deborah's response above regarding herding of animals - not enough context to really know.
Bubo Coroman (X) Nov 12, 2008:
do you think it could refer to a herding/gathering area for the animals, or does the context give you any other clue to who or what the "encuentro" refers to?

Proposed translations

33 mins

"meeting point"

In that context, "zona de encuentro" could mean more than one thing.

study zone

seems more likely it's referring to an area of investigation within a reserve

Well. I read the whole translation as "From the year XXXX to XXXX the grassy area almost tripled in the study area of the Banana Reserve"

I meant study zone - not area and it would be grassy areas
Peer comment(s):

neutral Gilberto Diaz Castro : Although the banana and the plantain are of a similar family they are not the same, or taste alike. “Reservas plátano” will only translate to “Plantain Reserves”, if it is the name of a place it would not be translated.
