Given the core functions of the MAB Programme and biosphere reserves (Conservation, Development and Logistic support) as presented earlier in this document, there seems to be a direct and clear link to the 23 targets of the GBF that aim to reduce threats to biodiversity; meeting people’s need through sustainable use and benefit sharing; and tools and solutions for implementation and mainstreaming.
To do a translation of the GBF into the context of biosphere reserves is not necessary a simple thing to do and it can be done in many ways. We have chosen to do the translation of the GBF through two approaches.
Firstly, we want to explore what kind of messages that supports the MAB Programme and the biosphere reserves can be extracted from the GBF es and what messages from the GBF can guide the Programme in the development of activities and improve the quality of the work within the Programme and the reserves.
Secondly, we want to focus on how the work with the Programme and in the reserves can contribute to a successful implementation of the GBF.
