Spanish term or phrase: zona de amortiguamiento
Busqué el término en la Web y encontré 'buffer zone' sin embargo lo encontre con una connotacion politica.

El contexto en que aparece el termino se refiere a zonas protegidas.

Las comunidades están ubicadas en la zona de amortiguamiento de la Reserva Natural Volcán Mombacho, que es una de las 76 áreas protegidas del territorio nacional, tiene un área de atracción turística de 2,487 hectáreas. Esta reserva natural forma parte del subsistema de la región del Pacífico.

Definicion:

buffer zone
n.
A neutral area between hostile or belligerent forces that serves to prevent conflict.

Resumiendo, no creo que en este contexto resulte traducirlo como buffer zone.
