Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Conference

The Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Conference is an international gathering organized by UNESCO to promote sustainable development by connecting ecosystems, human well-being, and conservation. It emphasizes protecting biodiversity while allowing communities to thrive through the creation of biosphere reserves—natural areas that balance environmental health with sustainable use. Participants include scientists, policymakers, and local communities working together to share knowledge, develop strategies, and implement practices that support both people and nature. The conference aims to foster collaboration for long-term environmental sustainability and resilience in the face of global challenges like climate change and urbanization.
