Biosphere reserves: are they about sustainable development?

UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme was created in 1971 with a vision: promote a sustainable connection between people and nature.

As it evolved, the original idea materialized in the designation of 'biosphere reserves', living laboratories that boost nature-based solutions for sustainable development. More than that, throughout this amazing network, it formed a global movement representing all members of communities, infusing the Programme with vitality and permanent innovation.

In 2021, the World Network of Biosphere Reserves will unite in its diversity pay a tribute to those who have shaped the programme into this quest for a more harmonious living in each of the world's ecosystems. It's about life!
