AfriMAB

    This network was created by the "Regional Conference for Forging Cooperation on Africa's Biosphere Reserves for Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development" which took place in Dakar (Senegal) in 1996.

    The last meeting of the AfriMAB Network was held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 13 to 18 September 2010.

    The network aims at promoting regional co-operation in the fields of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development through transborder projects, which are primarily based in biosphere reserves. To increase efficiency, four thematic sub-networks were created which correspond to:

    • Zoning and improving biosphere reserve functioning
    • Biosphere reserves and local communities; stakeholders/social actors participation and income-sharing
    • Transboundary biosphere reserves
    • Logistic support function of biosphere reserves
