Our Biosphere, Our Future. Local actions for the Sustainable Development Goals (exhibition)

The World Network of Biosphere Reserves consists of a dynamic and interactive network of sites of excellence. It works to foster the harmonious integration of people and nature for sustainable development through participatory dialogue, knowledge sharing, poverty reduction, increased human well-being, respect for cultural values and enhanced capacities to cope with climate change. br /
Currently, there are 686 biosphere reserves in 122 countries, including 20 transboundary sites.
