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!

Mrs. Meriem Boumrane, MAB programme specialist

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.

HOORAY FOR THE HONEY BEE!

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union. Our task is to provide sound, independent information on the environment. We are a major information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public. Currently, the EEA has 32 member countries. More details can be found on the website eea.europe.eu .

We are located in the center of Copenhagen, Denmark, and since recently, we are also home to 80.000 bees on the roof of our building (see: photos).

Hooray for the Underdog


Rob Dietz

Underdogs of the world unite!

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 MenNetwork, 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.

Many seminars held at the recent Ecobuild event in London addressed individual behavior and consumption habits. In one of the more lively seminars four commentators from academia and business presented vastly different perspectives on the basis of our 'love affair with more'.
