Description

BIODIVERSITY

How do we conserve biodiversity and foster economic growth? One answer is biosphere reserves. They are ideal sites for research, long-term monitoring, training, education and promotion of public awareness - while also enabling local communities to become fully involved in the conservation and sustainable use of resources. In this edition of World Chronicle, Peter Bridgewater, Director of the UNESCO Division of Ecological Sciences and Secretary of the Man and the Biosphere Programme, talks about achieving a balance between human development and the maintenance of a healthy environment.
