International workshops for European UNESCO biosphere reserves
This project consists of a series of workshops that bring together researchers and practitioners from European UNESCO biosphere reserves to discuss topics that are relevant to advance biosphere reserves. The workshops promote the exchange of good practices and collective learning. The first two events in the series focused on research and citizen science in European UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. This project is funded by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN).
