Summing up the Biosphere Conference EuroMAB 2011
It is hard to sum up a week with a lot of content and meeting new people, but it would be a pity not to give it a try, eh? My main focus during the week has been to understand what a biosphere reserve is and how it can contribute to sustainability. What has this ostrich to do with that? Find out below!
What is the Purpose of a Biosphere Reserve?
As I am new to the Man and the Biosphere program, I want to find out what the purpose of biosphere reserves is. I have scanned a few MAB webpages know, listened to a number of key note speakers at the first day of the EuroMAB 2011 conference and interviewed UNESCO programme specialist Meriem Bouamrane. But still it is not crystal clear to me.

What's more compelling than an astonishing upset? We seem instinctively drawn to the underdog; we routinely root for the resilient scrapper who refuses to back down. It's why Team USA over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics has been memorialized as the Miracle on Ice. It's why we cheered when Rocky Balboa went toe to toe with Apollo Creed (and subsequently KO'd All the President’s Men, Network, and Taxi Driver at the Oscars). It's why Harry Truman's defeat of Thomas Dewey in 1948 is one of the most famous U.S. Presidential elections. And it's why David and Goliath is one of the most beloved biblical stories.
