This ceremony marks the end of the IKC "Process Design for the Implementation of Biodiversity-Conserving Land Use - Focus on Biosphere Reserves (ProBio-LaB)", which gave rise to the Biosphere Reserves Institute. It showcased the IKC journey, since the first ideas to establish a competence center about biosphere reserves, to a diversity of activities developed in that period. Participants included representatives of biosphere reserves, partner organizations, BIOM and PhD students and BRI/HNEE staff.
